StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN)
It is a hypervisor-centric hardware- and hypervisor-agnostic software-defined storage solution. StarWind VSAN creates a fully fault-tolerant and high-performing storage pool that is purpose-built for the virtualization workload.
StarWind VSAN use cases:
StarWind VSAN for Hyper-V
Deployed by default from a Windows-based installer, or for fast and easy evaluation – a pre-configured VM appliance for Hyper-V

Supports two deployment scenarios – “Hyperconverged” and “Compute and Storage Separated” (or simply “Converged”)
StarWind VSAN for Hyper-V is the most universal SDS solution on the market that seeks to create ultrafast and sustainable IT infrastructures instead of squeezing out money from its customers.
StarWind VSAN for vSphere

- Fault-tolerant storage is achieved by “mirroring” internal hard disks and flash between servers.commodity hardware
- Conforms with all the principles of business continuity and helps to mitigate risks, prevent downtime, and preclude possible losses
StarWind VSAN for vSphere liberates its users from strict hardware compatibility lists (HCLs) and “feature walls,” granting the ability to make the most out of the customer’s existing resources and needs.
StarWind Virtual Tape Library (VTL)
Software that converts inexpensive, high capacity SATA drives into virtual tapes, emulating real existing tape hardware in order to accelerate the backup process and avoid backup-production time overlap.
- Performs fast and reliable disk-to-disk-to-tape (D2D2T) backup
- Replicates and tiers backups to any public cloud of your choice
- “Air-gaps” data from ransomware and works with any standard object storage
StarWind VTL meets regulatory requirements, significantly decreases backup cost, and keeps the performance of the system stable by increasing the speed of the backup process.
