Azure Stack HCI

Storage Spaces Direct (often abbreviated to S2D) is a feature of the Datacenter Editions of Windows Server and Azure Stack HCI OS. This enables software-defined storage for Windows environments without additional third-party components.

Storage Spaces Direct combines local data carriers of several servers into a virtual, shared data storage. Together with Hyper-V, hyperconverged systems can be realized purely with Windows on-board resources or, alternatively, dedicated software-defined storage solutions can be created.

With optimally tuned hardware, Azure Stack HCI achieves excellent performance values and scales effortlessly into the petabyte range. However, high-performance, highly available clusters are possible with just two nodes. Thomas-Krenn therefore offers numerous certified server systems for Azure Stack HCI with the compact Azure Stack HCI micro cluster systems and high-quality rack servers from the Azure Stack HCI rack series.
