White Paper: Fault Tolerance and High Availability

StarWind Virtual SAN eliminates the single point of failure for storage in virtualized infrastructure by using duplication and triplication of data, caches and I/O controllers, basically “mirroring” them all between independent physically different hosts. This way, the virtual shared storage becomes fault tolerant and provides high availability to higher performance and low-cost.
