What is it?
• New file storage solution for server applications
• Scenarios include Hyper-V virtual machines and SQL Server databases
Highlights
• Enterprise-grade storage: scalable, reliable, continuously available
• Easy provisioning and management, using familiar Microsoft tools
• Leverages the latest networking technologies (converged Ethernet, RDMA)
• Increased flexibility, including live migration and multi-cluster deployments
• Reduces capital and operational expenses
Supporting Features
• SMB Transparent Failover - Continuous availability if a node fails
• SMB Scale-Out – Active/Active file server clusters, automatically balanced
• SMB Direct (SMB over RDMA) - Low latency, high throughput, low CPU use
• SMB Multichannel – Increased network throughput and fault tolerance
• SMB Encryption – Secure data transmission without costly PKI infrastructure
• VSS for SMB File Shares - Backup and restore using existing VSS framework
• SMB PowerShell, VMM Support – Manageability and System Center support

Non-RDMA Ethernet
(wide variety of NICs)
•
•
•
•
RoCE
(Mellanox ConnectX-3,
Mellanox ConnectX-3Pro*)
InfiniBand
(Mellanox ConnectX-3,
Mellanox ConnectX-3Pro*,
Mellanox Connect-IB)
TCP/IP-based protocol
Works with any Ethernet switch
Wide variety of vendors and models
Support for in-box NIC teaming
Low CPU Utilization under load
Low latency
iWARP
(Intel NE020,
Chelsio T4/T5*)
Cons
•
•
High CPU Utilization under load
High latency
•
•
•
•
TCP/IP-based protocol
Works with any Ethernet switch
RDMA traffic routable
Offers up to 40Gbps per NIC port today*
•
•
Requires enabling firewall rules
Dual 40GbE port performance limited by PCI slot*
•
•
•
Ethernet-based protocol
Works with Ethernet switches
Offers up to 40Gbps per NIC port today*
•
•
•
RDMA not routable via existing IP infrastructure
(Routable RoCE is in the works…)
Requires DCB switch with Priority Flow Control (PFC)
Dual 40GbE port performance limited by PCI slot*
•
•
•
•
Switches typically less expensive per port*
Switches offer high speed Ethernet uplinks
Commonly used in HPC environments
Offers up to 54Gbps per NIC port today*
•
•
•
•
Not an Ethernet-based protocol
RDMA traffic not routable via IP infrastructure
Requires InfiniBand switches
Requires a subnet manager (typically on the switch)
* This is current as of May 2014. Information on this slide is subject to change as technologies evolve and new cards become available.
• InfiniBand and Ethernet solutions
Up to 54Gb/s InfiniBand or 40Gb/s Ethernet per port
Single or dual port cards, configured as InfiniBand or Ethernet
(RoCE)
Low latency, Low CPU overhead, RDMA
End-to-end solutions (adapters, switches, cables), including
InfiniBand to Ethernet Gateways for seamless operation
