HYPER-CONVERGED ALL FLASH APPLIANCE – STARWIND HCI ALL-FLASH
HCI All-Flash is designed for small and mid-size SMB virtualized environments. All-flash storage configuration provides the best capacity-performance combination. Start with as little as one node and leverage StarWind Hybrid Cloud for HA and failover or get more nodes to build an onsite cluster. Also, you can scale up by adding more storage, memory, and interface cards. Clusters can also have mixed node configurations to adopt multiple workload requirements. With StarWind ProActive Support included with the appliance, the responsibility for health status monitoring and availability of your applications is covered by StarWind Intelligent monitoring service and a team of professional support engineers.
