Problem/Solution

Migrating and maintaining LTO archives is a lengthy and challenging process. Creating a new data archival process from scratch is often not an option. StarWind has created the perfect algorithm to end the manual LTO migration, making the process simple and fully automated. Virtual Tape Library & StorageHeaven provide a solution for migrating and cloning LTO Tapes to DAS and Cloud Storage, all while still adhering to all the regulatory requirements.

StarWind engineers will assist with converting existing LTO tapes to virtual tapes, migrating the virtual tapes to the storage of your choice, and automate the offsite replication process for virtual tapes. Virtual-tape-stored data is accessible instantly. The tape bar codes are also transferred during the conversion, so applications won't have any problems indexing the existing data. With StarWind VTL, your archival storage will be ultra-fast, easy to manage, and infinitely scalable.

Success Stories

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.
