Hi,
We have an HP Nas as a cluster of 2 nodes handling all our shares, but we are looking in adding another NAS, and before going to HP again, I was wondering if we could use Windows Storage server 2012 R2 as a NAS.
The goal will be to have 2 Windows servers as a clustered NAS, and having both servers with internal disks, in case of failure of 1 server, to keep the shares in the cluster up and running. If it's possible, does Windows server handle the data replication between the 2 servers or do we need to get a 3rd party software for that. Also if it's possible, could we use SSD Sata disks and not SCSI disks?
Thank you for any insight you can give, and if there is any blogs or walkthrough somewhere that you can share, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
