Storage Spaces Direct and Storage Replica for FCIs

Learn how to plan and implement storage spaces direct and storage replica for FCIs.
Windows Server 2016 and later have two new ways to enhance SQL Server failover cluster instances (FCIs): storage spaces direct (S2D) and storage replica (SR). S2D is one of the biggest changes for FCI deployments in quite some time and could change how you approach FCIs. Storage replica enhances disaster recovery scenarios. This session will not only show the features in use, but also how to plan and implement them whether you are using physical or virutal (on premises or cloud).
