Replication in WSS2016. Hi, we have a file server with WSS2012 R2 installed. May I know if the feature of Storage Replication (bit, byte, or volume based) included in the Windows Storage Server 2016 Standard Edition?
“If you want to do file level replication, you can use the included replication mechanism provided by the Windows Storage Server 2016 (WSS) operating system: DFS-R (not depending on Storage Spaces Direct). It is an IP-based, asynchronous replication with bandwidth control, and support for 100 TB per node. For a lot of use-cases this is sufficient. If you want higher level of replication, there are add-on possibilities that are more cost effective than the Datacenter license of Windows Server.”
