Whether your IT infrastructure is ROBO, SMB, EDGE, or even enterprise, StarWind has been building hardware to support the needs of IT departments for over 10 years. Their focus is on designing systems that are powerful, easy to install and operate, and affordable without any significant investments in hardware or staff.
StarWind’s latest product, the Backup Appliance (BA), is all about helping companies improve the speed, reliability, and performance of critical data backups and restores. The Backup Appliance leverages the full power of NVMe technology to significantly improve the speed of your backup processes.
Traditional backup infrastructure is built on outdated HDDs which requires significant time to perform a backup, meaning you often have to schedule backups to happen during downtimes and wait for them to finish before continuing with development.
While many organizations are willing to invest heavily in performance hardware and infrastructure, they often leave the backup equipment as an afterthought relying on outdated technology that ends up causing bottlenecks in development and interferes with production.
StarWind has harnessed the power of components typically reserved for production and brought them into its backup appliance. This helps remove those bottlenecks and meet the strictest RTPO standards.
Through utilization of NVMe storage – instead of traditional HDDs – StarWind Backup Appliance also enables near-to-instant restoration of data, even during critical events.
The Backup Appliance is also fully compatible with Veeam B&R V10 and V11 and Veeam Instant VM Recovery so your backup infrastructure is as good as your production one, if not better.
In keeping with their goal of building infrastructure that is easy to set up and use, StarWind BA comes fully pre-configured to your specific requirements and can be accessed and operated through an intuitive Web UI giving you single-pane-of-glass management of your critical data.
The power and efficiency of the NVMe architecture means that the Backup Appliance solution is also friendly to the environment. It has a substantially smaller ecological footprint due to the increased power efficiency, meaning that you’re generating less heat and consuming less power with each unit you have.
StarWind’s technology comes highly rated from within the IT industry with IT Central Station awarding their Hyperconverged Architecture (HCA) the number three spot in the SDS category for its Peer Awards in 2021. StarWind VSAN earned the number one spot in the same category. The company also recently scored 4.8 out of 5 stars in Gartner’s “Voice of the Customer” HCI report for 2021 and was included in the Magic Quadrant for the third year in a row.
As everyone in IT knows, good support is vital to any IT systems and StarWind includes proactive premium customer support service that monitors the health of your systems 24/7/365 in all its hardware product licenses. If there’s any abnormal behavior, StarWind’s engineers will immediately resolve it for you and inform you of what happened, and the steps they took to resolve it.
