By: John Welch StarWind's true active-active high availability (HA) architecture provides continuous and non-disruptive access to storage in the event of failure by synchronously mirroring data between two active storage appliances, or nodes, in real time. This technology is important to IT professionals because it eliminates a single point of failure. If a disk, power or even an entire storage node fails, the redundant storage node will take over and will continue actively operating without any disruption, ensuring that storage is available and accessible on the network. “We are thrilled to announce the availability of StarWind 5 which is on track to deliver reliability, performance and ease-of-use,” "The new StarWind with automatic failover and failback makes data on networked storage continuously available and it really simplifies storage management," Greg Shields, a VMware vExpert and a Microsoft MVP, says “With the introduction of StarWind 5.0, VMware and Hyper-V users can have the reliability, performance and data availability they need at an affordable price.” StarWind 5.0 Key Features: • Synchronous Mirroring with Automatic Failover: mirrors data in real time across a storage cluster, ensuring that storage is continuously available in the event of failure. • Failback with Fast Synchronization: • Remote Replication across a WAN: replicates data to a remote location. allowing multi-site disaster recovery in the event of a disaster at the primary site. • CDP & Snapshots: captures instant, point-in-time volume images, allowing a user to rollback and recover an entire volume or individual files and folders. • Server clustering: supports Windows Server 2008, Hyper-V, VMware ESX and vSphere 4.0 and other applications. • Redesigned User Interface: allows IT professionals to easily manage all storage from a central management console built on the same tree structure used in Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere.
