In summary,
I'll just make the statement that in my experience as a
Microsoft Specialist for the last 20‑odd years,
that Microsoft has historically done a really nice job of helping not just
big enterprises who probably won't need some of these technologies because
they may be using third‑party solutions for RAID,
third‑party solutions for failover clustering,
and for replication, but for small to medium‑sized businesses it's nice to
have this enterprise functionality directly in the OS.
Of course, we have tradeoffs,
and you're trading off between cost savings and performance.
Again, I want to repeat,
you can implement Storage Spaces and S2D in your Azure VMs.
That's keeping with the theme of being a Windows
Server Hybrid Cloud Administrator.
And that sets us up for success for the fifth and final module in this course,
entitled Manage Windows Server Storage.
Thanks for your participation. I look forward to seeing you then.
