StarWind Virtual SAN® is a software-based VM storage that eliminates any need in physical shared storage.

It creates a highly available shared storage by basically "mirroring" the VMs in the cloud to achieve fault-tolerance of the cluster. Unlike similar Software-Defined Storage solutions, StarWind Virtual SAN is easily manageable, inexpensive, and high-performing and provides great benefits:

Hybrid Cloud – combining the best of both worlds.

StarWind Virtual SAN extends On-Premises workloads to Azure public cloud, transforming your infrastructure into Hybrid Cloud. StarWind distributes highly available shared storage between private and public clouds, providing Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery for optimal RTPO. The Hyper-V ecosystem is managed by such familiar and convenient orchestrators as StarWind Manager, Hyper-V, and SCVMM.
