Azure Stack HCI

Storage Spaces Direct (or S2D) is a feature of the Datacenter Editions of Windows Server and Azure Stack HCI OS. It makes software-defined storage possible in Windows environments without the need for additional components from third parties.

Storage Spaces Direct combines local drives from multiple servers into a virtual, shared storage space. Together with Hyper-V, hyper-convergent systems can be realized using nothing but the tools included with Windows or even dedicated software-defined storage solutions can be created in this way.

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

Top performance and high availability in a compact format – these are the standout features of the Azure Stack HCI micro-clusters from Thomas-Krenn. The fail-safe systems consisting of two highly available nodes (expandable up to 16) offer the fastest way to deploy Azure Stack HCI; as tower systems, they are perfect for any office. Moreover, the micro-cluster systems, which can be configured with AMD or Intel CPUs, are also available in a 1U rack server variant. Guarantee the security of your data and consolidate your servers in the smallest possible space with the S2D micro-cluster.
