Get Software-Defined Storage, True ProActive Support and Hybrid Cloud in a

Single Solution – StarWind Virtual SAN

StarWind Virtual SAN is a complete Software-Defined Storage solution delivering high-performing

and fault-tolerant storage for VMs and applications. It eliminates the need for physical shared
storage by “mirroring” internal hard disks and flash between the servers. What is more, the
solution significantly reduces both CAPEX and OPEX since it works on commercial off-the-shelf
components. Therefore, StarWind Virtual SAN has become the first full-fledged SDS solution
suitable for both SMB and ROBO.

Middleton, MA, January 18, 2018 --(PR.com)-- StarWind is a virtualization pioneer focused on
delivering Software-Defined Storage solutions, HyperConverged and Storage Appliances designed to
build high-performing, flexible and resilient IT infrastructures for SMB and Enterprise ROBO.

Throughout 2017, StarWind has added several significant features to StarWind Virtual SAN, which take
the solution's functionality to an entirely new level.

StarWind Virtual SAN is a complete Software-Defined Storage solution delivering high-performing and
fault-tolerant storage for VMs and applications. It eliminates the need for physical shared storage by
“mirroring” internal hard disks and flash between the servers. What is more, the solution significantly
reduces both CAPEX and OPEX since it works on commercial off-the-shelf components. Therefore,
StarWind Virtual SAN has become the first full-fledged SDS solution suitable for both SMB and ROBO.
It is also the SDS stack for StarWind HyperConverged Appliance - a turnkey virtualization infrastructure
building block which unites servers, storage, networking, backup, management and your hypervisor of
choice (vSphere, Hyper-V, and KVM coming soon) into a single scalable and manageable layer.

To ensure an unprecedented uptime and availability for customers' applications and services, StarWind
has provided its Virtual SAN with an additional support option - StarWind ProActive Support. We realize
the importance of strict SLA requirements. ProActive support combines proprietary analytics and
real-time Health Monitoring Service. Its advanced AI analytics engine predicts failure patterns and allows
issues to be resolved preventively. This way StarWind Virtual SAN copes even with the strictest SLA
requirements. StarWind ProActive Support ultimately allows system administrators to focus on
innovation instead of constantly monitoring their IT environment.

In order to provide SMB and ROBO companies with a true hybrid cloud solution, StarWind has extended
StarWind Virtual SAN functionality with a new feature - StarWind Hybrid Cloud. Why? Because there
are pitfalls in existing hybrid cloud solutions. First of all, they require deploying an entirely new hardware
configuration, set it up from scratch and then, adapt to new management. This results in spending
significant time, efforts, and costs just to start using the hybrid cloud. Furthermore, none of the existing
solutions provide high availability for VMs and applications since there is no ability to live migrate them
between on-premises and public cloud.

Therefore, to make the route to a public cloud easier, StarWind has designed StarWind Hybrid Cloud. It

combines a Hyper-V ecosystem on top of the existing servers on-premises with Azure. It provides
convenient management tools like as StarWind Manager, Hyper-V, and SCVMM. As usual, StarWind
distributes highly available shared storage, but now, it also replicates data between locations. Delivering
active-active storage, StarWind provides Disaster Recovery site in a public cloud to meet the required
RTO and RPO. As a result, StarWind Hybrid Cloud provides deployment and management simplicity,
cost-efficiency, and security for your data.
