A FEW FACTS TO CONSIDER

Facts about StarWind company

StarWind released its product called Native SAN (later rebranded to Virtual SAN) as far back as 2011, and VMware followed with their own Virtual SAN solving the same issue and using pretty much the same architecture only in 2014. Later, in 2015, StarWind executed a successful "pivot shift" from a software-only company to becoming a hardware vendor and brought Enterprise-level Hyperconvergence to SMB and ROBO. The new HyperConverged Appliance allows the company to tap into the “long tail” of the hyperconvergence market, thanks to its simplicity and cost-efficiency.

StarWind reinforced its position in the market by releasing two more hardware products in 2016: Backup Appliance and Storage Appliance. Both products are storage platforms targeting two different scenarios. StarWind Backup Appliance is purpose-built for backup and Disaster Recovery, having high capacity with enough compute power for the role. StarWind Storage Appliance is a high-performance platform, fitting the role of primary storage, capable of taking on virtually any workload of Small and Medium Businesses and even smaller Enterprises.

In 2016, StarWind incorporated all the latest technologies into the appliances, in order to keep them up to date. The company was the first to incorporate a high-end HDD-sized cloud gateway into its hardware products. Such a built-in component allows the user to utilize public cloud, like Microsoft Azure or AWS, as an extra storage tier. Also, StarWind Virtual SAN and, consequently, all StarWind hardware-based products are now compatible with "future storage technologies", like RDMA-capable iSER, SMB Direct protocols, and the ultra-performing NVMe over Fabrics.

VSAN Use Cases

We are satisfied with StarWind. The support is really fantastic. Whenever any issue arises, the response is very prompt, and solution is immediate.

Srinivas Kouda, Company’s Representative

We were able to build 2-node storage clusters based on virtualization in 19 hypermarkets without any problems and with high cost-efficiency.

Vass Sandor, IT Infrastructure Leader

By being able to virtualize our environment with StarWind, we were able to retire some old hardware, get our services highly available, reduce power consumption and heat in our server closet.

David Gardner, Information Systems Manager

StarWind got us off the clustered environment, which was a big help. So, I could regain control of my storage and reclaim and redistribute the space we desperately needed.

Ryan Fulton, Company’s Representative

Price + Simplicity. StarWind vSAN offers great pricing and allows us to get work done without expensive custom hardware. It also makes getting back online quick and easy after an outage or hardware failure.

Aaron Hayes, IT Manager

We chose StarWind Mainly because of the cost compared to other vendors. Simplicity of setup was also a major factor and I like the fact that you don’t need a vendor certified engineer to perform the installation.

John Harris, Windows System Administrator,
Department of Physics, University of Oxford

Because of recommendations of older colleagues, with StarWind, we got a reliable storage with no additional hardware. There was a need to increase IT infrastructure performance and we saw StarWind as the most cost-effective solution.
