00:00:01,130 --> 00:00:04,710
We're going to take a look at the Storage Bus Cache with

2
00:00:04,710 --> 00:00:09,550
Storage Spaces in Windows Server 2022. This is now

3
00:00:09,550 --> 00:00:12,030
available for standalone servers.

4
00:00:12,030 --> 00:00:17,440
What we're looking at is binding together faster media, SSDs, with slower

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:24,310
media, HDDs, and this can create tiers. This is going to dramatically improve

6
00:00:24,310 --> 00:00:29,950
both read and write performance and keep your operational costs low, in

7
00:00:29,950 --> 00:00:34,600
particular compared to a NAS or a SAN. The rules,

8
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:40,410
OneDrive must be slow media, HDD. A little more information about

9
00:00:40,410 --> 00:00:46,590
this. You have resiliency, which is set to none or mirror. The

10
00:00:46,590 --> 00:00:50,840
provision mode is shared, which is the default, and this means the

11
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:56,000
cache will only take a portion of the faster media tier. The exact

12
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,120
percentage, it's configurable.

13
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,460
You have a little button on there that says shared cache percentage.

14
00:01:02,460 --> 00:01:06,750
When you have cache mode, you dedicate the majority of the faster media

15
00:01:06,750 --> 00:01:10,850
tier to caching, as opposed to only a portion of it.

16
00:01:10,850 --> 00:01:15,680
In order to have this, you have to have failover clustering installed already.

17
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:26,000
So those are the essentials of the storage bus cache capability that we have now for a standalone server in Windows Server 2022.
