Spectrum Scale integration with HyperV

I have a customer which is pure Microsoft oriented. I wanted to sell them File storage and would like to use Spectrum Scale. As whole project will quite huge I would like to use as much of their infrastructure as it is possibly. I would like to use on primary location Customer HyperV infrastructure and put protocol nodes on VMs. They have 25 remote locations and for remote locations I would like to use HyperV VMs for NSD and protocol nodes.
So I need spectrum accelerate integration with windows 2012 R2 Data Center. As Far as I am aware this integration exist for Vmware.

    Request is definitely for Spectrum Scale (Accelerate was a mistake).

    The RFE title refers to Spectrum Scale, while the request body talks about Spectrum Accelerate. Which one is it?
