StarWind HCI Appliance: What’s Under the Hood?

StarWind has picked only the highest quality components from the most trusted hardware vendors on the market.
Dell is a world-renowned, mature provider of datacenter building blocks
Intel® Optane™ eliminates storage bottleneck and offers the lowest write latency in the industry
Mellanox is an absolute unbeatable leader when it comes to networking, RDMA=Mellanox
NVIDIA is a de-facto standard when it comes to video accelerators
The harmonious combination of such reputable brands inside a single HCI solution means that:
  • The need for a dedicated, old-fashioned, cord-jungle of a datacenter is no more. All the essentials are included in a space-savvy HCI platform that is a fire-and-forget solution. There is no chance of malfunction or anything breaking. It’s been tested through-and-through for many years.
  • The need for physical shared storage to support high levels of redundancy and performance is removed as well. StarWind HCI Appliance includes StarWind vSAN-native unmatched fault tolerance and close to 100% application uptime. You’re all set for even the most demanding workload environments.
  • CapEx, OpEx, IT management costs, and TCO are dramatically reduced. All components, coupled with additional features and 24/7/365 monitoring from StarWind, are easy to manage and perform like clockwork. StarWind HCI is easily scalable, without any hardware compatibility lists (HCLs) or other restrictions.
