High Availability Storage (Active-Active)
Turn any Windows server into a fault-tolerant SAN
StarWind iSCSI SAN allows you to build your own high availability SAN at an affordable price. In less than 30 minutes you can have a high performance, reliable and scalable shared storage for your server applications that is very easy to manage and administer.
Benefits of StarWind:
- High availability storage for your VMware, Hyper-V and XenServer virtual machines
- Allows you to use industry-standard hardware to build a SAN
- Allows you to consolidate your storage that is easy to install and manage
- Robust, enterprise-class features at an affordable and low cost of ownership
- Supports advanced VMware features: VMware HA, Storage VMotion, DRS and VCB
- Supports Hyper-V with Live Migration
Key Enterprise-class Storage Features:
- Synchronous Data Replication: Real-time data replication across a 2-node storage cluster
- High Availability / Automatic Failover: Fault tolerant active-active technology eliminates a single point of failure
- Failback with Fast Synchronization: Failback to an original system after an automatic failover
- Remote / Asynchronous Replication: Replicates your storage to a remote site across a WAN
- Snapshots & Clones: Capture point-in-time snapshots with unlimited rollback points, make full volume copies
- Thin Provisioning: Allocate space dynamically for highly efficient disk utilization
- CDP (Continuous Data Protection): CDP provides a replication mechanism to ensure an RPO (Recovery Point Objective) of zero data loss for applications that require a lower RPO than asynchronous replication can provide
- Data Deduplication: Data Deduplication is a specialized mechanism of data-compression that allows reducing needed storage capacity due to the process of eliminating duplicated data
- Support for iSCSI Standards: IPSec, CHAP, MPIO, VSS are all fully supported in StarWind.
StarWind Works on Industry-Standard Hardware
StarWind iSCSI SAN software platform runs on standard enterprise-class x86 or x64 servers, from blades to rack servers. This allows customers to choose from any standard hardware that meets performance, scalability and budget requirements. More importantly, the use of standard servers makes it easy to upgrade to new hardware, faster memory, Nehalem processors, PCI Express RAID controllers or 10 GigE networking that will all improve the performance of the storage appliance built with StarWind.
Standard enterprise-class servers with full redundancy and hot-swappable components that are supported by StarWind 5.0 include Dell, HP and IBM. This freedom to choose from open standards is important to small and midsize companies who want to deploy networked storage cost-effectively and easily without any interoperability issues and the high prices of proprietary storage solutions from traditional vendors.
