Windows Server 2012 R2 Storage Spaces
Aggregates high-volume, low cost storage into Storage Pools. These are sliced into Storage Spaces, which can be striped, mirrored, or use parity.
Storage Tiering*
Storage Pools can mix HDD & SSD & automatically move hot data to SSD to increase performance.
Scale-Out-File Server
Multiple file servers provide increased performance & resiliency, creating clustered storage pools & spaces
