StarWind iSCSI SAN Software: Active-Active High Availability Storage
StarWind is storage virtualisation software which turns any industry-standard 64-bit or 32-bit Windows server into a fail-safe, highly available, fault-tolerant storage device. This technology permits applications to have non-disruptive, continuous access to storage in the event of failure.
Traditional, legacy High Availability SANs are expensive and complicated. This has been a roadblock for small and midsize companies who are in the process of deploying VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and other server side applications that utilise network storage. With Active-Active High Availability architecture, the new StarWind 5.0 keeps your data continuously available and accessible, offering you enterprise-class reliability and high availability without the high price and complexity of proprietary, legacy vendor solutions.
Active-Active High Availability Storage
The Active-Active High Availability technology provides continuous availability by synchronously mirroring and distributing multiple copies of data across an active-active 2 node storage cluster in real time, eliminating any single point of failure. In the event of power, network, disk or even entire storage node failure, the second storage node will remain online and will continue operating without any disruption, making data accessible at all times.
StarWind manages synchronous mirroring and automatic failover on a per-volume basis. Because the volume's identity never changes, even in the event of a node or a site failure, your server applications will maintain continuous data availability, eliminating a single point of failure.
The many features of StarWind 5.0 are packaged into several editions to match the needs of any organization. Each of the StarWind editions improves availability, protects data, and simplifies storage operations.
