Hi colleagues,

StorageSpacesDirect (S2D) hit the Road in Technical Preview 4, which is available since mid of November.

Fujitsu is a validated OEM Vendor for this solution with it's Fujitu PRIMERGY HW.

You can have a look at the official Technet Blog from Microsoft describing how S2D works and how to implement:

Additionally there is a blog from the MS Product Manager about S2D for TP4 which also mentions the Fujitsu Deployment guide for PRIMERGY systems:

The Guide for a S2D installation including Hardware and network configuration and also a Install and Config Guide is available here:

This document is currently in review and will be updated by beginning of January 2016.

best regards
