Dell Storage with Microsoft Storage Spaces Best Practices Guide

PDF

Introduction

This document describes the best practices for the Dell Storage with Microsoft Storage Spaces (DSMS) solution. The Dell Storage with Microsoft Storage Spaces solution is a software-defined storage (SDS) platform that uses Microsoft Storage Spaces and Dell servers, storage, and networking to create a scalable file server solution.

The solution uses the Scale-Out File Server (SOFS) role with clustered Storage Spaces in a disaggregated solution, where the compute workloads run on separate client servers from the storage nodes. The client servers use Server Message Block (SMB) to access SOFS file shares on the storage nodes.
