StarWind iSCSI SAN Solution for IT Projects
StarWind iSCSI SAN Software for IT Projects
StarWind Server iSCSI SAN runs over standard iSCSI protocol and supports industry-leading server platforms such as VMware ESX and ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 and Microsoft Windows Server clustering technologies. It’s a cost-effective and flexible IP SAN solution and has become a compelling business choice for organizations that have deployed systems for:
Server Virtualization
Implementing a reliable iSCSI SAN is becoming an industry best practice for administrators of VMware ESX and ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix XenServer. Storage virtualization is the logical next step to complete a virtual environment. Combining iSCSI SANs and system virtualization allows an IT organization to improve overall levels of performance, lower overall costs and increase the levels of system and data protection.Business Continuity
In today's global economy, business transactions are often carried out on a 24/7 basis. In this environment, even a single server failure or power outage to a remote office, can cause data loss that quickly translates to losses to your bottom line. That’s why business continuity planning is more important than ever. It ensures that data will be continually available and always protected.Disaster Recovery
Disruptive events are not limited only to natural disasters like hurricanes and floods. In fact, 30% of system failures result from human error and 40% from hardware failure. This makes disaster recovery planning as one of the top priorities for IT departments. To mitigate that risk, StarWind provides a highly reliable and cost effective iSCSI SAN that is an ideal fit for any disaster recovery plan. Administrators can spread storage nodes across racks, rooms, floors, or buildings. This metro SAN replication enables administrators to protect their storage against any outage that affects a single location, such as flooding, HVAC failures, viruses, and human error or against natural disasters. Implementing reliable and scalable infrastructure to recover critical functions quickly and avoid extended disruptions can be fast and easy.Server Clustering
Windows Server 2008 clustering allows two or more servers to be linked together to improve system and data availability. High Availability server clusters have evolved into an important and effective technology for companies of all sizes. They significantly improve availability and performance beyond what is possible with a single server. One of StarWind’s iSCSI SAN’s most typical configurations is a failover cluster, where two or more server nodes share external storage. Paired with StarWind's SAN solution, it allows you to create a shared virtual SAN that will present itself to the Microsoft Windows cluster server and can be combined with the StarWind Server iSCSI SAN to work with Microsoft SQL Server, MS Exchange, VMware ESX and other applications to deliver the highest level of reliability and availability.Shared Storage
StarWind’s IP SAN enables you to rapidly adapt to evolving networked storage needs. Using iSCSI protocol, the StarWind SAN communicates between servers and clients to deliver shared storage on your network without the need for expensive or proprietary SAN or NAS solutions.| Live demo | Free 30-day trial | How to buy | ||
