    • The Pleasant Fiction of Software-Defined Storage

      alt text

      The revolutionary concepts of Software-Defined Storage and hyperconverged infrastructure seemed as the best way for bending the storage cost curve once and for all. These approaches managed to break the spell of vendor lock-in and separate value-add from commodity so that the commodity components could be purchased at a much lower cost. However, there is still one issue left unresolved – how to manage the heterogeneous storage infrastructure effectively?

    • Help StarWind to pick the name for the upcoming product!

      Hello, All!

      We are glad to announce that we are releasing our new free software product very soon.

      The new product is developed as a flexible and customizable web-based platform which will allow users get the full control over their IT infrastructures from a single HTML5 graphical interface.

      The upcoming release will come as a preview version that covers essential monitoring features:

      Server Monitoring

      This feature allows monitoring stand-alone Windows Servers. The software collects and displays the performance and health data from the local infrastructure, simplifying the daily work of System Administrators.

      Monitoring for Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct

      The software allows monitoring the S2D infrastructure within a single web-based interface. It provides all the necessary information and metrics in a very convenient way. System Administrators would no longer need switching between the PowerShell, Server Manager, and Failover Cluster Manager to get the required information or check the S2D cluster health.

      The future product roadmap includes:

      Management for StarWind Virtual SAN, Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct, and Ceph.

      Choose what’s under the hood. Depending on the architecture requirements, available hardware, and other factors, one solution may be better than others. System Administrators will be able to select between StarWind Virtual SAN, Storage Spaces Direct, and Ceph to easily deploy, configure and maintain the best-fitting HA solution for their IT infrastructure.

      Monitoring and management for Microsoft Hyper-V and Failover Cluster.

      The product will not only allow users to monitor and manage the storage stack but also get the full control over the hypervisor and clustering from the web interface. For example, Administrators will be able to create new clusters, add nodes to the existing ones, deploy virtual machines, and configure networks.

      Monitoring and management for 3rd party storage providers.

      The product will support most popular and up-to-date management protocols ( Swordfish, WMI, VASA), that will allow a seamless integration into the existing IT infrastructure regardless of hardware or software utilized by a storage provider.
      With that said, we are asking you, our Spiceworks friends, for a little favor. Please, find a minute of your time to participate in this tiny poll helping us to pick the better name for our product.

      Currently, we are deciding among three names:

      "StarWind Cloud Manager" - this name stands for our product's ability to manage the private cloud.
      "StarWind Datacenter Manager" - well, obviously, large-sized deployments could be also managed by our new product 🙂
      "StarWind FreeMan" - this was the internal name of the product used by our Development and Engineering teams, which stands for: "Free Manager".

      The actual Poll is here @ SW https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2010251-help-starwind-to-pick-the-name-for-the-upcoming-product

      Also, feel free to post your product name ideas.

      Your feedback is very important to us and much appreciated!

      P.S. Just a little insight to nourish your curiosity 🙂
