Here are the latest news from StarWind Software Inc
Yet another success by StarWind!
StarWind has recently acquired Citrix XenServer 6.5 Certification, completing the list of certifications, adding to those from VMware(vSphere 6.0 & vSphere 5.5 Certifications) and Microsoft (Windows Server 2012 R2).
What this means is that StarWind Virtual SAN is eligible for Microsoft, VMware and Citrix support services, being part of HCL.
To achieve this kind of acknowledgement, StarWind Virtual SAN passed a series of tests to prove the product’s compatibility as part of these vendors’ joint solutions.
It’s fair to say that StarWind now has every “MUST HAVE” certification.

2. Live Webinar: Building Storage for Availability and Survivability
1 July, 9 am PT / 12 pm ET
Speaker: Jon Toigo, Toigo Partners International LLC
With software-defined storage taking hold both as a model for building data storage infrastructure behind servers and as a template for designing ready-made hyper-converged server/storage hardware nodes, IT planners confront many options for creating a high performance, cost efficient platform for data hosting. Just as important, however, is the design of storage infrastructure for high availability – to protect against hardware and software glitches – and for survivability – to ensure data accessibility in the face of disasters with a broader geographical footprint.
In this Brown Bag webinar, IT-SENSE editor and chief Jon Toigo kicks things off with a discussion of the requirements for building a bullet proof storage infrastructure using software-defined and hyper-converged elements.
He will be joined in the Between Two LUNs segment by storage expert Max Kolomyeytsev from StarWind Software to talk about the availability/survivability of StarWind technology and the resiliency of its latest hyper-converged infrastructure product, developed in connection with xByte Technologies.
3. SAN Must Die!
Do you hate SANs as we hate them? No, seriously? They were great place to store your grandfather’s Oracle database, but why the heck would anyone use them to store Virtual Machine images? SANs were never designed to handle virtualization workload! Also, with today’s high-capacity spindles, PCIe attached flash and 40 Gb Ethernet all being commodities, it’s simpler, faster and cheaper to use virtual shared storage for virtualization purposes. Get your cure to SANs disease free, now, right here.
