StarWind

StarWind is a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and software-defined storage (SDS) vendor with a laser focus on Enterprise ROBO, SMB, and Edge deployments. Founded in 2009, StarWind has grown to serve 63,800+ customers worldwide with a simple philosophy: replace tangled, expensive legacy data centre infrastructure with elegant, high-performance hyperconverged platforms.

StarWind's product portfolio spans three core offerings. The StarWind HCI Appliance is a turnkey, all-in-one platform that converges compute, storage, networking, virtualisation, and management into a single building block—available in Value Flash, Capacity Flash, and Performance Flash configurations. The StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) is a "software replaces hardware" solution that eliminates the need for physical shared storage, turning your existing servers into a highly available storage pool. The StarWind Virtual Tape Library (VTL) Appliance modernises tape-based backup workflows with virtual tapes, cloud tiering to AWS, Azure, Backblaze, and Wasabi, and automated LTO-to-disk migration.

What truly sets StarWind apart is their proactive "babysit your infrastructure" support model. Rather than waiting for problems to occur, StarWind's engineers monitor your environment 24/7 using AI-powered telemetry and a "call home" system, preventing issues before they arise. This "one throat to choke" approach eliminates finger-pointing between vendors and dramatically simplifies the IT experience.

StarWind supports VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Proxmox VE, and Linux KVM hypervisors, and is certified with Windows Server 2025, VMware Ready, Microsoft Azure, Citrix, and Oracle Linux Virtualisation Manager.
