StarWind has the necessary solutions to provide for solid data integrity and analytics, minimized hardware footprint, ease of operation, resistance to stringent environmental conditions, and unified 24/7/365 one-vendor support umbrella.

Your systems workload and transactions smoothness lie in IT resiliency and versatility.
We have the impeccable foundation you need to achieve that.

SEEKING SIMPLICITY AND RELIABILITY

Challenges You Face

  • Shortage of human power and surrounding environmental, working conditions demand that the vessel’s HCI is compiled in a manner that minimizes any chances of breaking
  • The level of HCI resiliency on an autonomous maritime vessel has to be so high that it can continue necessary operations even if several components fail simultaneously
  • Absence of internet connection creates its own concerns, so the vessel’s systems should be able to operate autonomously with flawless redundancy to work seamlessly in any conditions
Stringent environmental and physical conditions, remote location, and heightened data retention and security regulations create a unique demand in low-hardware-footprint yet performant-as-if-on-mainland IT infrastructures for maritime autonomous vessels.

There is also no possibility and it’s unrealistic to compile in-house dedicated IT support teams that will effectively cover each unit. The delivery of infrastructure management and support can be challenging, so fault-tolerant autonomous functioning and proactivity are key. Everything needs to be simple but Highly Available (HA).

HELPING SOLVE YOUR CHALLENGES

The StarWind Way

  • StarWind provides customers with multiple levels of redundancy, ensuring that no downtime occurs in case multiple components fail, literally our concept is “no serviceable parts inside”
  • StarWind builds clusters in a way that allows them to impeccably survive the loss of multiple components and multiple node failures
  • Configure once and its all smooth sailing from there since StarWind-based infrastructures are clockwork and won't cause issues while you're at sea
  • Regardless of internet connection quality, your environment will be monitored 24/7/365 by StarWind ProActive Premium Support (included), which uses machine learning to spot any abnormal behavior to prevent any crashes. Even if you lose internet connection, ProActive Premium Support will continue to observe your system and react if it notices anything strange.
