StarWind Virtual SAN is a native Windows hypervisor-centric hardware-less VM storage solution.  It creates a VM-centric and high performing storage pool that is purpose-built for virtualization workloads.  StarWind Virtual SAN delivers high performance compared to dedicated SAN solutions since it runs locally on the hypervisor.

In addition,all IO is processed by local RAM/SSD caches and disks, never bottlenecked by storage fabric. StarWind Virtual SAN includes the Log-Structuring File System technology, which coalesces small random writes, typical for virtualized environment, into the stream of big sequential writes. As a result, the performance is increased and the flash life is prolonged.
