Datacenter Microsoft Azure Consistency Connectivity Code
Microsoft Cloud Platform System powered by Dell Azure-consistent cloud in a Box Windows Server 2012 R2, System Center 2012 R2, Azure Pack Microsoft-perfected design and best practice implementation Breakthrough efficiency and economics Maximum IT impact on business Hybrid cloud consistency Microsoft-led support and orchestrated updates Optimized run-books for Microsoft applications Dell PowerEdge servers, Storage, Networking Optimized racking and cabling for high density, servicing, reliability, and redundancy N+2 fault tolerance, N+1 for networking Up to 8,000 VMs (2vCPU, 1.75 GB Ram, 50 GB Disk) 0.7 PB of usable workload storage 15-50% lower cost per VM
Lowering Storage Costs Whilst delivering enterprise-class performance & reliability Windows Server 2012 R2 Storage Spaces Aggregates high-volume, low cost storage into Storage Pools. These are sliced into Storage Spaces, which can be striped, mirrored, or use parity. Storage Tiering* Storage Pools can mix HDD & SSD & automatically move hot data to SSD to increase performance. Scale-Out-File Server Multiple file servers provide increased performance & resiliency, creating clustered storage pools & spaces Scale-Out File Server Storage Spaces Storage Pools Physical Disks *New in Windows Server 2012 R2
