Easy to Manage
Includes pre-installed DataON MUST™ software for infrastructure visibility and management.

The DataON S2D family is built to optimize the full stack of Storage Spaces Direct, a feature in Windows Server 2016 and 2019. It delivers industry-leading performance for the most affordable price, providing software-defined, shared-nothing storage.

Windows Server 2016 and 2019 can be used for hyper-converged deployments, where compute and storage are both on the same cluster, simplifying configuration and reducing hardware costs.

Storage Spaces Direct can scale to up to 16 servers and over 400 drives, for up to 4 petabytes of storage per cluster. It also unlocks a new class of NVMe solid-state storage devices, for faster performance than SAS SSDs.

  • 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors and NVMe Express (NVMe) – Leverages the latest technology to deliver incredible performance and responsiveness, with greater VM density.
  • Pre-configured HCI ClustersScalable to up to 16 nodes, providing expanded capacity and operational flexibility.
  • Industry-Leading Application Performance – Provides over 3.2M IOPS performance (running VM Fleet) using the all-flash NVMe SSD technology to scale IOPS-intensive workloads.
  • Breakthrough Performance and Dramatically Reduced Disk Latency Intel® Optane™ SSDs that are NVMe-based are available for the fast cache tier.
  • Hyper-V Virtualization Hosting – Supports more than 40 Hyper-V virtual machines per node with up to 16 nodes per cluster.
  • Storage and Networking with SMB3 over RDMA – Increase CPU efficiency, while delivering the lowest network latency and 2x throughput compared to TCP/IP.
  • Hyper-Converged Scalability – Delivers incremental compute, networking, and storage resources, while providing near-linear scalability. Each HCI appliance can be expanded via 12GB/s SAS JBODs.
  • Automated Out-of-the-Box Deployment – Accelerates time to deployment for Windows Server 2016 and 2019 Storage Spaces Direct and Storage Replica environments.
  • Integrated Data Protection and Guarded Fabric – Supports Windows Server 2016 and 2019 with Shielded VM and TPM 2.0 trusted attestation for security and business continuity.
