STARWIND VIRTUAL SAN (VSAN) HALLMARKS

Enjoy Maximum Return on Investment (ROI)

When StarWind VSAN was designed, the price had to match small businesses' needs and limited IT budgets. It pulls out close to 100% of the IOPS from your existing raw storage, and no crazy expensive hardware is required. Licensing is transparent and flexible without any unexpected additional feature fees.

StarWind VSAN is an enterprise-grade product with an SMB price level.

Matchless Performance on Minimalist Terms

Virtual SAN from StarWind assures high uptime and fault tolerance starting with only two nodes. A witness is not needed. Your IT environment won’t get any slower even if you lose an entire node plus one individual storage device, SSD, or HDD. Scale-up, down, or out when and how you need it.

This solution offers cost-efficiency and unbeatable performance.

Incomparable and Energizing User Experience

Run your HCI clusters through a unified StarWind web UI. Choose ProActive Premium Support and let us monitor your IT 24/7/365: we’ll identify and troubleshoot any issues ourselves and inform you about each event later.
