StarWind iSCSI SAN Solution for MS Hyper-V Data Sheet

Higher Data Availability, Reliability And Protection for your Hyper-V virtual machines.

Enhance your Hyper-V Environment

By choosing StarWind for your centralized storage, you can make more efficient use of storage resources, eliminate downtime, recover faster, and protect your virtual machines effectively.

Increase storage utilization

StarWind’s Thin Provisioning offers substantial storage efficiency because you don’t have to buy more disk space than you really need. And it makes it easier to expand the size of the volumes available on your iSCSI SAN.

Reduce new server purchases

StarWind iSCSI SANs take advantage of existing servers and storage resources. Transform old servers into enterprise-class SCSI SANs, leveraging your existing IT infrastructure. It’s not only Green, it's also affordable!

Higher Data Availability

Using StarWind’s mirroring and replication features, you can minimize the impact of any disruption you encounter in your iSCSI SAN. In the event of a local service failure, you can fail over to the remote site and continue to deliver access to service.

Protect your Virtual machines

By using enterprise-class features such as StarWind CDP & Snapshots, users can access lost data fast by recovering to a point prior to a failure on a volume-by volume basis. Combined with MS clusters, you can ensure that your applications will always be running and that your data will always be available.

Easily manage your storage

Use our simple, yet powerful graphical user interface to manage your SAN.

Build a Hyper-V SAN in about 30 minutes

Hyper-V users in small and medium-size businesses can substantially increase the performance, utility and recoverability of their servers with an iSCSI storage solution from StarWind. Compared to other network storage options, a StarWind iSCSI SAN is easy to set up – averaging about 30 minutes. And, it offers all the benefits associated with enterprise level storage solutions, like Fibre Channel, without the costs.

StarWind’s iSCSI SAN doesn’t require costly proprietary equipment or networking investments. Convert any Windows Server into a scalable, high-performance Hyper-V SAN that runs over existing CAT5 Ethernet cable. Users with exceptional performance requirements can run on 10 GigE Ethernet networks to create a StarWind iSCSI SAN that exceeds the performance limits of a Fibre Channel solution without either its high price or the need for personnel-intensive maintenance. Our software-only solution doesn’t lock you into proprietary servers, storage or networking equipment.

There is no need to suffer through traditional SAN implementation headaches or invest in training for specialized proprietary platform support expertise. StarWind iSCI SANs deliver complete access to enterprise-class SAN services to provision networked storage, reduce vulnerability and protect data. StarWind iSCSI SAN for Microsoft Hyper-V delivers Microsoft VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Services) compatibility, dynamic point-in-time volume snapshots and automatic incremental backups; backups and recoveries are a breeze. All this, plus StarWind’s unlimited terabytes of storage, make this a perfect solution for small- to medium-size companies and remote office/branch office (ROBO) installations.
