Виртуальный SAN (VSAN)

StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) - это программное обеспечение, которое устраняет любую необходимость в физическом общем хранилище путем простого "зеркального" отображения внутренних жестких дисков и флэш-памяти между серверами гипервизора. Он совместим с гипервизором по вашему выбору, будь то Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware vSphere/ ESXi, Linux KVM или Xen. StarWind VSAN адаптирован для корпоративных удаленных офисов и филиалов (ROBO), малого и среднего бизнеса (SMB) и Edge: истинный двухузловой сценарий, прозрачное лицензирование и поддержка переведены на другой уровень.
