About this software

StarWind Virtual SAN is software-defined shared storage that creates a virtual SAN from local server disks and flash. It provides high-availability mirroring, clustering, in-line deduplication and compression, and asynchronous replication for disaster recovery. The product exposes iSCSI, SMB3 and NFS protocols and supports deployments on Hyper-V, VMware vSphere, KVM and Xen hypervisors, intended for SMBs, ROBO and edge sites seeking cost-effective HCI storage.

Frequently asked questions

What is StarWind Virtual SAN and what problem does it solve?
StarWind Virtual SAN is a software-defined storage solution that aggregates local server storage into shared block storage for virtualized environments, enabling high availability, reduced latency, and centralized storage management.
What deployment topologies are common for virtual SAN software like this?
Common topologies include hyperconverged setups that combine compute and storage on the same hosts and disaggregated architectures with separate storage-only nodes; both scale by adding nodes or disks.
How does the product provide data redundancy and failover?
Redundancy is achieved through replication or mirroring across multiple hosts so data remains available if a node fails; automatic failover transfers I/O to surviving nodes.
