The newest systems
for Azure Stack HCI
Brand-new rack servers with the latest CPU generation
Storage Spaces Direct (or S2D) is a feature of the Datacenter Editions of Windows Server and Azure Stack HCI OS. It makes software-defined storage possible in Windows environments without the need for additional components from third parties.
Storage Spaces Direct combines local drives from multiple servers into a virtual, shared storage space. Together with Hyper-V, hyper-convergent systems can be realized using nothing but the tools included with Windows or even dedicated software-defined storage solutions can be created in this way.
With optimally tuned hardware, Azure Stack HCI achieves excellent performance and scales effortlessly into the petabyte range. But powerful, highly available clusters can already be established from just two nodes. Thomas-Krenn offers numerous certified server systems for Azure Stack HCI with the compact Azure Stack HCI micro-cluster systems and the high-quality rack servers of the Azure Stack HCI rack series.
Do you want scalable, future-proof storage systems based on standard components? With the Azure Stack HCI series rack servers, your wish is our command. Equipped with the latest generation of Intel or AMD CPUs, plenty of room for fast storage media such as NVMe SSDs and network technology ranging up to 100GbE, the systems fully exploit the potential of Windows Server and Azure Stack HCI OS via Storage Spaces Direct.
