Introduction to Storage Tiering with Storage Spaces on Windows Server 2019 Storage Tiering in Windows Server 2019 allows a single Storage Space virtual disk to span multiple classes of physical drives — such as NVMe or SSD drives for a “Performance” tier and HDD drives for a “Capacity” tier. Windows automatically moves frequently accessed (hot) […]
Introduction to Scale-Out File Server on Windows Server 2019 Scale-Out File Server (SoFS) is a Windows Server 2019 failover cluster role that presents Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) as SMB 3.x file shares that all cluster nodes simultaneously serve. Unlike a traditional clustered file server where only one node owns the storage at a time, SoFS […]
Introduction to Software-Defined Networking on Windows Server 2019 Software-Defined Networking (SDN) in Windows Server 2019 provides a programmable network infrastructure that decouples network configuration from the underlying hardware. Windows Server 2019 SDN, part of the Microsoft SDN stack, includes Network Controller (NC), Software Load Balancer (SLB), Windows Server Gateway (WSG), and Hyper-V Network Virtualisation (HNV). […]
Introduction to BGP Routing on Windows Server 2019 Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the routing protocol that powers the internet, used to exchange routing information between autonomous systems (AS). In Windows Server 2019, BGP routing is available as part of the Remote Access role and is commonly used in software-defined networking scenarios, branch office connectivity, […]
Introduction to IPv6 on Windows Server 2019 IPv6 is the successor to IPv4, providing a vastly larger address space (128-bit addresses versus 32-bit), built-in IPsec support, improved routing efficiency, and support for features like stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC). Windows Server 2019 includes full IPv6 support and enables it by default on all network adapters. Organisations […]
Introduction to VLANs on Windows Server 2019 Virtual LAN (VLAN) support in Windows Server 2019 allows you to logically segment your network into multiple isolated broadcast domains on the same physical infrastructure. In a Windows Server context, VLANs are typically configured on virtual network adapters in Hyper-V, on NIC Team interfaces (LBFO team NICs), or […]
Introduction to NIC Teaming on Windows Server 2019 NIC Teaming (also known as Link Aggregation or Network Adapter Bonding) allows you to combine two or more physical network adapters into a single logical adapter. In Windows Server 2019, NIC Teaming is built in as a feature called Load Balancing and Failover (LBFO). The primary benefits […]
Introduction to File Server with DFS Namespaces on Windows Server 2019 Configuring a File Server with DFS Namespaces (DFSN) on Windows Server 2019 combines a traditional SMB file server with a virtualised namespace layer that gives users a single consistent UNC path regardless of where the files physically reside. This is particularly powerful in multi-site […]
Introduction to Work Folders on Windows Server 2019 Work Folders is a role service in Windows Server 2019 that allows users to synchronise work files between corporate servers and their personal devices (Windows, iOS, and Android). Unlike traditional file shares that require a VPN connection, Work Folders uses HTTPS for synchronisation, making it accessible from […]
Introduction to SMB File Shares and NTFS Permissions on Windows Server 2019 SMB (Server Message Block) file sharing is the foundation of Windows file services. Windows Server 2019 uses SMB 3.1.1 — the latest protocol version — which includes AES-128-GCM encryption, pre-authentication integrity checking, and improved performance. Combined with NTFS permissions (the access control system […]
