Question 1

Features in datacenter but NOT standard (4)

Answer 1

1. Storage Spaces Direct: Enables administrators to use relatively inexpensive drive arrays to create high-availability storage solutions. Instead of using an expensive array or controller with built-in storage management intelligence, the intelligence is incorporated into the operating system, enabling the use of inexpensive JBOD (just a bunch of disks) arrays.
2. Storage Replica Provides storage-agnostic, synchronous or asynchronous volume replication between local or remote servers, using the SMB3 protocol.
3. Shielded virtual machines Provides VMs with protection from compromised administrators that have access to the Hyper-V host computer by encrypting the VM state and its virtual disks.
4. Network controller Provides a central automation point for network infrastructure configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
