Keep critical workloads online – from HQ data centres to the edge. Upholding the principles of IT complexity reduction at the tactical edge, StarWind completely trivializes IT infrastructure deployment and management while offering reliable uptime and performance for mission-critical environments.

What problem we solve?
Bulky, expensive SAN/NAS and segregated compute, storage, and network layers increase complexity, risk, and cost. Military teams operate with limited space, power, and staff, so they need a secure, compact, and reliable IT infrastructure stack that deploys fast, is easy to run, and is backed by 24/7/365 support.
How we solve the problem?
StarWind consolidates compute, storage, networking, and virtualization into a unified resilient hyperconverged platform. StarWind replaces segregated fragile compute and storage silos, ensuring high availability for mission-critical applications, scaling from 2 nodes upward. Choose the HCI solution that perfectly fits each site:
StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN)
StarWind VSAN is a software that eliminates the need for physical shared storage, replacing traditional SAN or NAS systems. VSAN combines flash and disks of the cluster and forms a virtual shared storage pool accessible by all hosts.
