[The Register] Storage Spaces Direct just vanished from Windows Server

[The_Librarian]

Support for Storage Spaces Direct, Microsoft's version of VSAN, has been stripped from the latest build of Windows Server 2016, version 1709, which was released on Tuesday.

Storage Spaces aggregates the hard drives in a Windows Server cluster to provide a single logical pool of capacity, which is available to applications running in the cluster. This is useful, necessary even, for hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) appliance systems – and Windows Server 2016 has an HCI focus.

What the fdisk? Storage Spaces Direct just vanished from Windows Server in version 1709

Lovely. Of late quality from M$ has been declining steadily.

What with the recent delta update being pushed out to WSUS as well (and bricking Server2016 and Win10)....

But good for them for getting rid of windows mobile, hopefully they can give more attention to quality instead of pushing out [-]bricks[/-]useless mobile phones....
