Hyper-V Storage Spaces Direct clusters.Windows Server clustering on your own hardware.
Hyper-V Storage Spaces Direct clusters give Microsoft-centric shops Windows Server clustering with pooled local storage. We build them on single-tenant hardware, migrate you off VMware if needed and run them with U.S.-based engineers.
Hyper-V and Storage Spaces Direct.Windows Server, hyperconverged.
Hyper-V with Storage Spaces Direct combines Windows Server failover clustering with the local disks in each node, pooled into shared storage for the whole cluster. Your virtual machines and their storage live on the same nodes, linked by 25/100 GbE top-of-rack switches.
For teams that already run Windows Server and Microsoft tooling, it keeps the platform familiar while moving your workloads onto a single-tenant rack.
- Windows Server failover clustering
- Local disks pooled into shared storage
- Familiar tooling for Microsoft-centric teams
- Three nodes is the usual minimum for high availability
VMware to Hyper-V migration.One team from inventory to operations.
- InventoryWe map your VMware workloads, data, growth and compliance needs.
- DesignWe deliver the Hyper-V rack elevation, node roles, network and storage design, with a fixed price.
- Build and migrateWe rack, cable, burn in and benchmark every node, then move your virtual machines across.
- OperateWe monitor, patch and replace hardware around the clock, with U.S.-based engineers on call.
What every Hyper-V build includes.Beyond the hypervisor.
Single tenant
Your nodes, disks and switches, with no other customer on them.
Out-of-band management
Remote console and power control over a separate management network.
Redundant power
A and B power shelves, so power fails over to the second feed.
DDoS protection included
4 Gbps included on every internet-facing resource, upgradeable.
When Hyper-V is the right call.Fit the platform to your team.
Choose Hyper-V with Storage Spaces Direct when your administrators live in Windows Server and your applications already run on Microsoft platforms. Your team keeps the skills and tools it has, while we take on the rack, the hardware and round-the-clock operations.
If your priority is open source with no per-core licensing, Proxmox VE with Ceph may suit you better. We build either, and help you decide in the free design session.
Questions, answered.
Who is Hyper-V with Storage Spaces Direct for?
Microsoft-centric shops that want Windows Server clustering with pooled local storage on single-tenant hardware.
Can you migrate our VMware environment to Hyper-V?
Yes. We plan and run VMware migrations to Hyper-V, from the first workload inventory through to ongoing operations.
How does the cluster grow?
One node at a time. Each node adds processors, memory and disks together, so there is no new storage array and no forklift migration.
Is Hyper-V your recommended platform?
Our recommended open-source option is Proxmox VE with Ceph. We build on Hyper-V when it fits your team, since there is no licensing lock-in.
