StarWind iSCSI SAN is the software solution for creation of Storage Area Network on the basis of industry-standard 64-bit or 32-bit Windows server and Gigabit Ethernet. For resource-intensive applications 10GigE can be used delivering high performance. StarWind turns any server into a fault-tolerant High Availability shared storage that works over iSCSI protocol. StarWind provides High Availability technology that ensures continuous access to the storage data in case of hardware failure or any kind of disaster.

StarWind iSCSI SAN can be configured as a single node and as HA storage cluster operating in the Active-Active mode. This mode ensures synchronous real-time replication of data between the two active storage nodes that monitor each other by the means of Heartbeat network. Should one node fail, the second one takes over all the storage traffic and continues operating without any disruption. HA storage cluster allows to eliminate single point of failure, ensures zero data loss and provides availability and accessibility of storage on the network.
