Hyper-V Amigos Showcast Episode 8: Storage Replica in a Stretched Cluster

We finally go to make a next “Hyper-V Amigos Showcast”, due to very busy schedules we had to postpone this a couple of times. But we made it! In this Episode (the 8th one) Carsten and I show one application of a new great feature in Windows Server vNext: Storage Replication. This allows us to replicate a volume between two storage systems without caring what that storage system is as long a you have windows volumes on it. Replication can be synchronous or asynchronous and there are multiple scenarios in which to use this.

Here we focus on trying out replication between two clusters or in a stretched cluster scenario. I have already made a video demonstrating server to server replication. In this showcast we demonstrate  the Stretched Cluster scenario (and troubleshoot our own lab).
