StarWind Advantages: StarWind helps you build a rock-solid, high-performance IP SAN that is affordable within any organization's IT budget. Our IP SAN solution enables small- and mid-size companies benefit from enterprise-level solutions without the typical high costs of implementation and administration. StarWind is able to use Serial and Parallel ATA and SCSI, Fibre Channel, USB and FireWire storage hardware. Export an entire disk or a single file or partition on the hard disk as an iSCSI virtual disk. Storage hardware (tape drives, automatic tape libraries, high-performance Blu-Ray and HD-DVD burners, DVD-ROM changers) can be "networked" using StarWind. I/O read and write caching using RAM as cache to improve throughput and response time. StarWind integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Windows NTFS compression and encryption. SAN image files stored on NTFS partitions can be encrypted and compressed (without excessive access overhead). StarWind fully supports iSCSI boot from SAN. This allows you to completely eliminate the need for dedicated hard disk drives installed on client machines. Supports Shared Volumes for clustering servers. StarWind`s disk can be used as quorum disk for Windows Cluster.
