I recently completed a very interesting client project based on MS Hyper-V and MS Storage Space, and wanted to share the details here today. The Clients had been using the 2008 R2 Hyper-V CSV cluster with iSCSI storage, which was complex to manage. The steep costs for iSCSI storage were returning low levels of performance on the 1GbE iSCSI network. After looking at some alternative solutions, we proposed that they utilize the existing 2U DL380G7 servers’ local storage with Hyper-V … [Read more...] about Software Defined Storage (SDS): A Centrinet Case Study

Unique Solutions for Distributed Storage
The primary objective of a distributed storage model is for local storage on each individual server to act as a pool for the cluster. In this model, the virtual machine (and any data) is stored locally for better performance. Because the data is being replicated, redundancy is achieved - opening up alternate network paths and ensuring no single point of failure. For a distributed storage model to work properly, a high-speed network is a must. I have compiled the following list of vendors … [Read more...] about Unique Solutions for Distributed Storage
