Container storage

Historically, virtual machines were used to run and store applications developed by R&D teams. However, VMs are cumbersome and inefficient for software development, as they take longer to boot and consume more resources, as they include a complete OS image. Containers, in contrast, are more efficient, using the host machine’s OS capabilities and containing only the necessary software binaries and libraries.

While containers are limited in storage options, with NFS storage being most common, they often require fast and persistent storage access. StarWind Virtual SAN delivers fast, replicated storage for containers, ensuring maximum performance for containerized applications.

Virtual machine storage

Going 100% physical doesn’t make sense these days because modern servers can handle multiple workloads. That’s why VMs are used. Virtual machines (VMs) need shared storage. You could run VMs directly from local disks, but that means missing out on advanced virtualization features like fault tolerance (FT), high availability (HA), and distributed resource scheduling (DRS). Essentially, by not using shared storage, you’re leaving money on the table.

Historically, SANs provided shared storage to multiple hypervisor hosts. However, times have changed. StarWind Virtual SAN is the “software replaces hardware” for SAN. Now, you can enjoy all the benefits of a SAN without the costs and complexity of owning one.
