StarWind HCI Appliance (HCA) is a modern data center building block. StarWind converges compute, storage, networking, virtualization software, and management into a single hyperconverged platform. It replaces tangled and expensive legacy data center infrastructure consisting of servers, segregated compute and storage networks, and network storage. StarWind HCI Appliance eliminates common obstacles associated with legacy infrastructure: high acquisition and maintenance costs, complicated management, and poor power efficiency.
StarWind HCI Appliance is Lego® for system administrators. We provide you with a set of building blocks, some detailed instructions, and we’re ready to give a hand any time. You only need to use your imagination and creativity to create a data center of your own. Rest assured, it’s as easy as building a Lego® set. Last but not least, you will need to bring some cash. A very reasonable amount.
Don’t believe how easy it could be? Our team of experienced engineers is ready to answer your questions and introduce you to hardware specifications, features, and support plans.
Be brave: book a StarWind HCI Appliance demo now.
Book a demoEach StarWind HCI Appliance includes a cost-effective minimum of two cluster nodes*, making it especially relevant for Enterprise ROBO and SMB customers. StarWind clusters can be easily scaled if needed. Models are available in three distinct lines, each tailored to meet specific requirements: compute and storage performance, capacity, and budget.
| Value Flash (V-Spec) Ideal for both Enterprise ROBO and small-scale SMB deployments with low VM count and low IOPS. |
Capacity Flash (C-Spec) Ideal balance of capacity and performance for environments with higher VM density, demanding greater storage capacity and IOPS. We think about SMB here. |
Performance Flash (P-Spec) Delivers maximum performance and utilizes long-lasting flash to handle data-intensive applications and services effortlessly. It’s the top choice for enterprises and SMBs ‘on steroids.’ | |
