Scalability
• Improved IOPS performance with Write-Back Cache support
• Improved hot data performance through storage tiering using SSDs and
HDDs in the same storage space
• 50% performance improvement for small IO in SMB Direct
• Hyper-V hosts automatically directed to the “best” file server node avoids
unnecessary redirection traffic
• CSV volumes are automatically distributed across the cluster
• Hyper-V Live Migration using SMB3
• Improved MTTR from drive failures through parallel rebuild
• Resilient to dual-drive failures in parity spaces
• SMB instances dedicated for CSV traffic
