Type: White Paper
Rating: (0)

Overview: This whitepaper describes how to increase the application availability of Hyper-V virtual servers by configuring not only the clustering of the physical hosts but also the high availability shared storage that you can build with just SAN Software that turns any Intel-architecture x86 or x64 server into a highly reliable and highly available Shared Storage for your Hyper-V virtual servers.

BENEFITS: SAN Software allows you to build your own SAN for Hyper-V or VMware by turning a standard, Intel-architecture x86 or x64 server into a fully functional fault-tolerant, fail-safe SAN. This means that you will have high availability storage with automatic failover in a case of failure and therefore your Hyper-V or VMware virtual servers will be always available and accessible. By using SAN software, you avoid the need to buy expensive, proprietary SAN products from large vendors and you will be able to have enterprise SAN at a truly affordable, unprecedented price.

FEATURES: StarWind’s SAN Software offers true active-active High Availability: Synchronous Data Mirroring with Automatic Failover and Failback. And this is offered for the most affordable price in the industry of $5,995 for 2 storage node licenses / installations which is unprecedented.
