Storage pools — A group of
physical disks, which allows you to manage and use the combined disk
space of all physical disks in the pool.
Storage Spaces — Virtual disks
(VDs) created from free disk space in a storage pool. You can configure
each Storage Space VD with a specific resiliency layout and storage
tiers.
Resiliency — Refers to the
method by using which a VD is protected against physical disk failures.
There are three types of resiliency layouts for Storage Spaces—Simple,
Mirrored, and Parity.
Simple VD — Data is striped
across the physical disks and there is no resiliency provided. There
is no protection against physical disk failures.
Mirrored VD — Data is striped
across physical disks and an extra one-or two copies of the data is
also written to protect against disk failures. A two-way mirror can
tolerate one physical disk failure, while a three-way mirror can tolerate
up to two physical disk failures.
Parity VD — Data is striped
across the physical disk along with parity information. There are
two types of parity layouts—single parity and dual parity. Single
parity writes one copy of parity information protecting against one
hard drive failure, while dual parity writes two copies and protects
against two hard drives failures.
Storage tiers — Enables increased
performance by creating and managing two separate data tiers — one
SSD tier and one HDD tier. Frequently accessed data is stored on the
high-speed SSD tier and less frequently accessed data is stored on
the HDD tier.
Scale-Out File Server (SOFS) — A role that enables a cluster to act as an active-active file
server, which increases performance and provides highly available
SMB file shares.
Storage node — A server which
is a member of the SOFS cluster.
