One of the big hot features in Windows Server 2016 which has me really excited is Storage Spaces Direct (S2D). With S2D you will be able to create a hyper-converged private cloud. A hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) consolidates compute and storage into a common set of servers. Leveraging internal storage which is replicated, you can create a true Software-defined Storage (SDS) solution.
This is available in the Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview today! I encourage you to go try it out and give us some feedback. Here's where you can learn more:
