Virtualisation Solutions
You have a wide range of servers to choose from when it comes to VMware, however, not all of them give you the flexibility to expand and enhance your operations in the future. We have listed all of the Supermicro vSAN-ready nodes that you can use for your business and improve your operations on the go. You do not need to be in a locked-in contract if you need a plug-and-play solution that takes away the complexity of your daily operations.
StarWind offers a hypervisor-centric hardware- and hypervisor-agnostic software-defined storage (SDS) solution known as StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN), designed to create a fully fault-tolerant and high-performing storage pool, specifically built for virtualization workloads. This solution is compatible with various hypervisors, including Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware vSphere ESXi, Xen, and KVM.
StarWind VSAN achieves high availability by providing multipath access to all storage nodes, delivering impressive performance compared to traditional storage solutions. The I/O operations are processed locally, utilizing local RAM, SSD cache, and disks to ensure fast and efficient data handling.
Additionally, StarWind’s solutions are known for their ease of use in setting up software-defined virtual SANs, especially in Hyper-V environments.
Create and manage virtual machines on x86-64 systems on Windows. Hyper-V enables users to run multiple operating systems on a single physical server, which is particularly useful for developers and system administrators who need to test different environments without the need for additional hardware.
Hyper-V features include:
- Computing environment: A Hyper-V virtual machine includes the same basic parts as a physical computer, such as memory, processor, storage, and networking.
- Disaster recovery and backup: Hyper-V Replica creates copies of virtual machines, intended to be stored in another physical location, so you can restore the virtual machine from the copy.
- Portability: Features such as live migration, storage migration, and import/export make it easier to move or distribute a virtual machine.
- Remote connectivity: Includes Virtual Machine Connection that gives console access
- Security: Secure boot and shielded virtual machines help protect against malware and other unauthorized access to a virtual machine and its data.
