StarWind Software Inc., the leading provider of software defined storage for Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere, announced today the immediate availability of their 8th generation software – StarWind Virtual SAN.

The NEW generation of the product comes with several revolutionary improvements and makes StarWind Software (which just secured $3.25M in the Round B of VC financing) a true leader in its niche. The solution enables businesses with virtualized environments to further cut the OPEX by deploying top-notch storage scenarios and effectively utilizing existing hardware infrastructures.

“Today, we introduce to the Windows and vSphere community the next generation of the virtual storage that is going to change the storage industry,” said Anton Kolomyeytsev, CTO of StarWind Software, Inc. “We sought to develop the shared storage that could be radically simple, cost-effective, and, of course, fault-tolerant and high performance. Since it is a pure software solution you can download and try it right now.”

StarWind fully supports virtual environments, including VMware, Hyper-V, XenServer and Linux.
