What Is iSCSI and When to Use It? iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) is a block storage protocol that transports SCSI commands over standard TCP/IP networks. It allows Windows servers to access remote SAN (Storage Area Network) storage arrays as if they were locally attached block devices. Unlike NAS (Network Attached Storage) which presents […]
What Is SMB Multichannel? SMB Multichannel is a feature of the SMB 3.x protocol that allows a single SMB session to use multiple simultaneous network connections between a client and server. In traditional SMB, a single TCP connection limits throughput to one network path, regardless of how many network adapters or how much bandwidth is […]
What Is BitLocker Network Unlock? BitLocker Drive Encryption protects data on Windows machines by encrypting the OS volume. By default, when a machine with BitLocker enabled and a TPM+PIN protector boots, it stops and waits for the user to enter a PIN before the OS loads. In large enterprise environments with hundreds or thousands of […]
Introduction to Storage Tiering with Storage Spaces on Windows Server 2022 Storage tiering is a feature of Windows Server Storage Spaces that automatically moves frequently accessed data to faster storage (such as SSDs or NVMe drives) and less frequently accessed data to higher-capacity, lower-cost storage (such as HDDs). This provides a best-of-both-worlds approach: you get […]
Introduction to Scale-Out File Server on Windows Server 2022 Scale-Out File Server (SoFS) is a clustered file server role in Windows Server 2022 that provides continuously available SMB file shares for highly available workloads such as Hyper-V virtual machine storage and SQL Server databases. Unlike the traditional clustered file server (which uses active-passive failover and […]
Introduction to Software-Defined Networking on Windows Server 2022 Software-Defined Networking (SDN) on Windows Server 2022 is a Microsoft implementation of a full-stack network virtualisation solution that decouples the network control plane from the data plane, allowing centralised programmatic management of the entire network fabric. Rather than configuring individual switches, routers, and firewalls device by device, […]
Introduction to BGP on Windows Server 2022 Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the routing protocol that underpins the global Internet. It is a path-vector protocol that operates between autonomous systems (AS) and is responsible for exchanging reachability information between network domains. Windows Server 2022 includes a full BGP implementation as part of the Remote Access […]
Introduction to IPv6 on Windows Server 2022 IPv6 is the successor to IPv4, designed to address the exhaustion of 32-bit address space by providing a 128-bit address space capable of supporting approximately 3.4 × 10³⁸ unique addresses. Windows Server 2022 ships with full IPv6 support enabled by default, and Microsoft has been clear that IPv6 […]
How to Set Up VLAN Support on Windows Server 2022 Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) segment a physical network into multiple isolated logical networks using 802.1Q VLAN tagging. On Windows Server 2022, VLAN support is available at multiple layers: directly on a physical network adapter (access port configuration), on NIC team members, on NIC team […]
How to Configure Teaming Network Adapters on Windows Server 2022 NIC Teaming combines multiple physical network adapters into a single logical adapter, providing increased bandwidth and automatic failover when an individual adapter or switch port fails. Windows Server 2022 supports two fundamentally different teaming technologies: Load Balancing and Failover (LBFO), the native Windows NIC Teaming […]
