StarWind Virtual SAN
- Linux-based software-defined storage

Freedom to choose. to grow.
Within the DataCore portfolio, StarWind and DataCore SANsymphony address different scopes of high availability, from focused, site-level deployments to centrally managed, enterprise-scale storage environments.
Infrastructure decisions should expand your options — not narrow them.
This isn’t about pushing one architecture everywhere. It’s about alignment — selecting the right solution for each environment and retaining the flexibility to evolve as requirements change.
