Uber® for IT Storage
StarWind Virtual SAN is an Uber® for IT storage. StarWind reuses existing hardware without investing in new infrastructure, and we aren’t breaking the bank.
You can take immediate advantage of the hyperconvergence, the same data center technology that fuels the growth of thousands of Enterprises over the globe. Yes, you can ride for free! If you’re happy with the fact that there are certain functionality limitations or even no limitations when it comes to the Linux version... as long as you’re fine doing everything in a self-supported mode. We encourage you to give VSAN Free a try!
Use Case: Virtual Machine Storage
Virtual machines (VMs) need shared storage. While there’s a definite possibility that you could avoid it in your production by running VMs directly from the local disks, nobody is really going to benefit from this.
See, the whole bunch of the advanced virtualization features like fault tolerance (FT), high availability (HA), and distributed resource scheduling (DRS) won’t be available to you without it. By not using shared storage you’ll be stealing from yourself and leaving money on the table.
Historically, it was SAN, providing shared storage to multiple hypervisor hosts. Times had changed, however. StarWind Virtual SAN is the “software replaces hardware” for SAN. Now, you can enjoy all the benefits of having a SAN, but without any drawbacks of actually owning one. Costs and complexity are all gone!
