Cost effective: StarWind is the industry's most affordable iSCSI target solution for Windows. For a fraction of the cost of a hardware solution, Starwind can turn any standard computer into a high-performance iSCSI-to-Fibre Channel switch, ultra-capacity SATA external storage enclosure, networked DVD burner or tape drive, incremental backup or disk-to-disk backup facility.

Easy to install and run: StarWind can be installed and configured over a network with the help of a standard telnet application or by using the StarWind network configuration console. Make new network services and managed iSCSI devices ready to use on the fly with no reboot or server downtime.

High efficiency: StarWind works in parallel with any network services (like file and printer sharing) already running. Installing StarWind is a fast and easy way to add SAN (Storage Area Network) features to an existing NAS (Network Attached Storage) server.

High availability: StarWind adds a network interface to any storage devices it has been configured to manage. With StarWind you can create RAID configurations freely mixing local hard disks with networked storage devices located on the other machines, do direct backups to optical and tape devices over the network by mapping them as local ones.

Storage centralization: StarWind provides excellent features to help migration from DAS (Direct Attached Storage) to true network storage by replacing physically attached hard disk or disk array with iSCSI volume. Whole storage pools can be managed universally, no need to mess with islands of disks stacked around every server.
