They deliver a similar level of performance and reliability as more expensive storage solutions and they offer support for both file (CIFS/SMB and NFS) and block (iSCSI) protocols, allow for a flexible mix of configurations and includes advanced data management tools. WSS2016 leverages your Windows Server management skill sets and tools including Active Directory, PowerShell and System Center.

Extensive protocol support: SMB (2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.02 FTP/FTPS, ISCSI

NOTE: The SMB 3.1.1 protocol is only supported on Windows Storage Server 2016, Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 operating systems.

• NFS v4.1: With Windows Storage Server, Server for NFS supports continuous availability. This

makes it possible to reliably store and run VMware ESX on a virtual machine that is running Windows Server by using the NFS protocol to share files. Additional improvements in failover clustering take advantage of better resilience to hardware and software outages that may afflict individual cluster nodes. At the same time, failover clustering isolates VMware ESX hypervisor hosts from intermittent glitches during failovers.

• iSCSI: Some applications require block storage. iSCSI Target Server can provide these applications

with continuously available block storage. Since the storage is remotely accessible it can also consolidate block storage for central or branch office locations.

• File Server Resource Manager (FSRM): File Server Resource Manager is a set of features within

the Windows Storage Server OS that allows you to manage and classify data that is stored on file servers. File Server Resource Manager includes the following features:

• Storage Quotas: Quotas allow you to limit the space that is allowed for a volume or folder, and

they can be automatically applied to new folders that are created on a volume. You can also define quota templates that can be applied to new volumes or folders.

• File screening: File screens help you control the types of files that user can store on a file server.

automating classification processes so that you can manage your data more effectively. You can classify files and apply policies based on this classification. Example policies include dynamic access control for restricting access to files, file encryption, and file expiration. Files can be classified automatically a selected file or folder.

• File Management Tasks: File Management Tasks enables you to apply a conditional policy or

action to files based on their classification. The conditions of a file management task include the file location, the classification properties, the date the file was created, the last modified date of the file, or the last time the file was accessed. The actions that a file management task can take include the ability to expire files, encrypt files, or run a custom command.

• Storage reports: Storage reports are used to help you identify trends in disk usage and how your

data is classified. You can also monitor a selected group of users for attempts to save unauthorized files.

• WSS 2016 includes an Unlimited Client Access License (CAL)

NOTE: Windows Server 2016 and Windows Storage Server 2016 are built on the same code base. Applications certified for Windows Server 2016 are expected to have the same application compat profile on Windows Storage Server 2016. Windows Storage Server and Windows Server have the same application frameworks, services and plumbing to support running the full breadth of Windowscompatible applications. Applications that rely upon certain roles that are removed from Windows Storage Server 2016, such as fax server, Active Directory domain controller or terminal services will not be able to leverage those roles. Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) ultimately decide what versions and editions of Windows are supported by their products and users should review ISV compatibility and support information before purchasing. Customers should review the End User License Agreement (EULA) to see the types of applications that are permitted for installation on a StoreEasy 1X60. All Windows Storage Server 2016 based systems can join Active Directory domains, but cannot be a domain controller.

Data deduplication enables Windows Storage Server 2016 to store more data in less physical space for greater storage efficiency. Data deduplication uses variable size chunking and compression, which deliver optimization ratios of 2:1 for general file servers and up to 20:1 for virtualization data. Evaluate your deduplication savings with the included deduplication evaluation tool which allows you to determine the expected savings that you would get if deduplication is enabled on a particular volume. The Deduplication evaluation tool supports local drives and mapped or unmapped remote shares.

Data deduplication within Windows Storage Server 2016 has specific improvements for deduplicating large volumes and large files - up to 64 TB and 1TB respectively. WSS 2016’s deduplication engine will run multiple threads in parallel using multiple I/O queues on a single volume and thereby improve the performance for deduping large volumes.

With the Work Folders feature in Windows Storage Server 2016 users can store and access work files on personal computers and devices, often referred to as bring-your-own device (BYOD), in addition to corporate PCs. Users gain a convenient location to store work files, and they can access them from

servers, and optionally specifying user device policies such as encryption and lock-screen passwords. Work Folders can be deployed with existing deployments of Folder Redirection, Offline Files, and home folders. Work Folders stores user files in a folder on the server called a sync share. You can specify a folder that already contains user data, which enables you to adopt Work Folders without migrating servers and data or immediately phasing out your existing solution. Work Folders is supported on Windows 10, Windows

8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Apple iOS and Android devices. New for Windows Storage Server 2016 version of Work Folders, when a Windows 10 client makes any changes to a file those changes are immediately synched to Work Folders and the client notified.

The file sync and share feature enables mobile workers to access their files from anywhere, and provides corporate data controls including data encryption, data wipe, user lock screen password enforcement, file classification, and storage quotas

Use advanced data management to automatically improve use of resources, comply with data retention policies, and enhance protection of sensitive files.
