We are excited to announce our partnership with StarWind for a number of reasons. One; StarWind is a leading provider of hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) that enables you to construct a full-stack data center infrastructure. With modern compute and storage architecture, StarWind provides customers with solutions that target specific cases. As a testament to their outstanding work, StarWind conquered two TrustRadius awards in 2022. One for ‘Best Relationship’ with customers, and the other for ‘Best Feature’ in relation to Hyper-Converged Infrastructure.

All-flash offers greater capacity, better performance, and higher endurance as well as being cost-efficient. In addition, there’s a lower risk of failure in vibration and high-stock environments or extreme temperatures due to no moving parts.

StarWind provides flexibility and complicity when it comes to its infrastructure. This is illustrated through StarWind providing 24/7 support for all commercial versions, offering flexible hypervisor and OS-specific SDS choices, minimal effort to run, and offering a variety of different management methods to maximise convenience. StarWind HCA also includes Proactive Premium Support with health monitor machine learning failure prediction and automated remote troubleshooting for flawless 24/7 operation. In addition, All-NVMe options are added to StarWind HCI, Backup, and Storage Appliance specifications.

StarWind HCA is a true turnkey hyper-converged platform that combines network, storage, compute, and software in a small 2-node footprint. This enables you to decrease your TCO, increase ROI, and experience maximum performance as well as flawless resiliency. This is a cost-effective approach as it avoids significant money being spent on hardware and IT staff. In addition, each StarWind HCA is tailored to customer requirements. Proactive Support, Assisted Migration, and Guided Commissioning are also included at no additional cost.

Video surveillance requires peak performance 24/7/356. To combat these demands, StarWind offers purpose-built platforms that leverage fault-tolerant architecture.

StarWind Backup Appliance utilizes the speed of an NVMe storage backend and shrinks the backups window to fit any schedule without overlapping or harming other processes. It also removes the need to calculate the backup window schedule. Therefore, backup and restore are performed with incredible speed. This enables you to fit any data backup requirements you need. StarWind BA is a standalone backup server, which means that it’s compatible with any data backup software and other IT infrastructure components you might have. 

StarWind SA helps organisations with fixed compute platforms meet storage performance and capacity growth requirements. StarWind does this by providing those organisations with high-performance and simply scalable storage fully covered by 24/7 support. StarWind Storage Appliance also easily handles high-performance or unpredictable data growth. This is because It serves storage as a single namespace to different environments via multiple uplink protocols: iSCSI, SMB3, NFS, including RDMA-capable iSER and SMB Direct. 

StarWind VTL Appliance helps organizations to protect their data and eliminate labor-intensive tape backup processes. In addition, it also helps organisations meet regulatory data retention requirements by using on-premises Virtual Tape Libraries with flexible multi-cloud and object storage tiering.
