StarWind Software

Hello all!

I would like to ask about the NAS function of the starwind.

Can I build a scale-out nas? So Can I create a big cluster with 15 nodes (5 HA cluster with 3 way mirroring) and create a huge file system and present it over Cifs or samba?

I have some Windows server and this server need a huge bandwidth with a huge (300 TB) Cifs shared file system.

Thanks

Yes, you can. You use StarWind to provide a backbone block storage for your Scale-Out File Servers and use SMB 3.0 to feed shared storage to your Hyper-V cluster. See these:

Right now we provide an infrastructure and manuals, upcoming V8 we'll have a configuration tool (you can check it right now) to export content as an SMB / NFS file shares (failover) in automatic mode.
V8 R2 will have the same thing for unified namespace CSV and SoFS.
