A Principled Technologies report: Hands-on testing. Real-world results.

Some IT admins who manage Dell EMC™ PowerEdge™ R740xd servers in a Microsoft® Storage Spaces Direct environment are considering upgrading to the Windows Server® 2019 operating system. The potential space savings from storage deduplication could lead to consolidation and cost savings.

In the Principled Technologies data center, we performed hands-on testing to measure the benefit of performing this upgrade-a reduced storage footprint resulting from the deduplication features in the Windows Server 2019 version of Storage Spaces Direct. To quantify the amount of work required to get this benefit, we also noted the time and steps necessary to carry out the upgrade.

In this combination test report and migration guide, we show what we learned: The new OS let the server store data in dramatically less space, and the upgrade process was simple and quick. Together, these findings suggest that upgrading to Windows Server 2019 would yield proven results.

Windows Server 2019: The operating system that bridges on-premises and cloud.
