Q&A: Windows Storage Server
MCP Magazine | at | by Mike
Microsoft released Windows Storage Server last September. WSS, available only through third-party storage hardware vendors, replaced three-year-old Windows Powered Network Attached Storage. Zane Adams, director of product management and marketing for Microsoft's enterprise storage division, recently talked to MCP Magazine about WSS.
Q: How stable is WSS? Have you encountered many bugs in the product since the September launch?
It's been stable. Absolutely no issues, because its core function is file and print. It's been optimized and tested for that, and we've optimized it to each hardware [solution] with our partners. More and more mission-critical data is going on it. I've seen customers with10-15 terabyte boxes and higher running for a long, long time.
