Follow me and learn Windows Server 2012 - Storage Spaces

Hi, it is Bruce here.  Tonight I spent hours getting my new test box up and running.  It’s running with 2012, Hyper V and now has 12 VM running on it.  Now it is time to take a break and look into Store Spaces. 

It took me a little while to understand where Microsoft was going with this.  Then I saw the light!  This technology allows us to use industry standard commodity storage to provide resiliency,  scalable, continuously available storage at lower price-points.  Below are some resources to help you study up on the topic.
