Managing a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), with dozens of hosts and hundreds of clients, can become overwhelming and even serve as a separate job title. HCIs tend to grow continuously, introducing ever more elements that system administrators need to monitor. Soon, it becomes too complicated and impossible to monitor such an environment effectively without specialized software and skills. Fortunately, StarWind has just the right solution to resolve those concerns.
To manage your hardware and software resources you would need multiple dedicated user interfaces (UIs). Elements to account for in an HCI keep on piling up, but there isn't more employees or time to meet that growing demand. Getting more people or buying expensive and complicated popular HCI monitoring software won't really cut it.
In addition to such a tendency creating a lot of confusion and consuming time, it also creates security challenges. You would need some time to figure out where exactly an issue has occurred while surfing through all those windows and logs. All of that time and effort could be dedicated to completing more important tasks, thinking up new innovations, or simply having a break.
StarWind Command Center resolves all of that, and more. It’s a single-pane-of-glass management and monitoring UI created to simplify and automate your control over your daily HCI routine. Everything you need has been integrated into a neat HTML5-based user interface.
Overview and access whatever you need in your StarWind-based environment from a sophisticated unified dashboard inside your web browser. Control your hardware resources (networking, storage) and software resources (workload, VMs, backups) from a single web UI. Reduce your HCI-related work complexity and allocated time to dedicate it to more pressing work or a much-needed break.
Working hard is the slogan of a bygone age. Today, working smart is where it’s at. Remember that work-break-life balance is crucial for efficient productivity and growth. StarWind Command Center has been created with that motivation in mind. Have your complex, standard routines neatly simplified in a single place, so that you can deal with them quickly and distribute your saved time and effort to what you feel is more important to you and your work.

We are satisfied with StarWind. The support is really fantastic. Whenever any issue arises, the response is very prompt, and solution is immediate.
We were able to build 2-node storage clusters based on virtualization in 19 hypermarkets without any problems and with high cost-efficiency.
By being able to virtualize our environment with StarWind, we were able to retire some old hardware, get our services highly available, reduce power consumption and heat in our server closet.
StarWind got us off the clustered environment, which was a big help. So, I could regain control of my storage and reclaim and redistribute the space we desperately needed.
Price + Simplicity. StarWind vSAN offers great pricing and allows us to get work done without expensive custom hardware. It also makes getting back online quick and easy after an outage or hardware failure.
We chose StarWind Mainly because of the cost compared to other vendors. Simplicity of setup was also a major factor and I like the fact that you don’t need a vendor certified engineer to perform the installation.
Because of recommendations of older colleagues, with StarWind, we got a reliable storage with no additional hardware. There was a need to increase IT infrastructure performance and we saw StarWind as the most cost-effective solution.
StarWind is the best storage product I have ever used! It satisfies and exceeds requirements.
