  2. Part of the Server+Cloud track Designing systems for continuous availability - multi-node with remote file storage

    Marriott Platinum 7 on Thu, Sep 15 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM

    The file server role of Windows Server 8 has been redesigned to enable scalable, highly available, and fault tolerant storage for server app workloads, such as Hyper-V and SQL Server, on remote file shares. This session will discuss the new active-active file server with improved scalability and simplified management; describe the transparent failover feature which makes file shares continuously available for server apps, and details on the extensions to Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) for backup and recovery of app data stored on file shares. The talk will also review sample entry-level and high-end system configurations and their potential performance capabilities.

  3. Part of the Server+Cloud track Designing systems for continuous availability and scalability

    Marriott Platinum 7 on Thu, Sep 15 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

    Windows Server 8 includes fundamental enhancements to the core platform to enable deployment of continuously available services with great performance. To fully enable these new capabilities, new hardware platform features are required in networking, storage and the memory system. This session will outline new investments in networking around NIC teaming and file server support for Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) and multi-channel; new fault resiliency in the file system and storage stack; and new capabilities for memory fault tolerance. We will also walk through common failure conditions, the architectural improvements within Windows Server 8 and the new hardware that enables these features.

  4. Part of the Server+Cloud track Building continuously available file server NAS appliances

    ACC 210 B on Fri, Sep 16 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM

    This session builds on earlier presentations about the evolution of platform storage technologies and designing multi-node systems for continuous availability. These platform advances allow Microsoft partners to use industry-standard hardware to build Continuously Available Windows Server solutions at different price bands. This session will discuss considerations, options and opportunities for using the Windows Server Continuous Availability platform to build continuously-available network-attached storage (NAS) appliances, including workloads and deployment options, and new Windows Server 8 capabilities for file server and NAS appliances. The talk will also describe the branding and customization opportunities for OEMs, including description and examples of customized extensions of the initial out-of-the-box customer experience for server appliances.
