2021: StarWind Backup Appliance Release
On August 24, 2021, VMGU.ru announced the release of StarWind Backup Appliance. It is intended for backup of virtual machines in storage StarWind. This is a software and hardware complex based on NVMe storage, which eliminates the problem of backup storage performance and forgets the task of planning a backup window.
Now you can take a backup on such storage at any time and without affecting the work of applications and services. Using this complex will reduce backup time by at least 2 times.
Moreover, in the event of a failure, you can instantly restore virtual machines and files directly from the backup, providing the best RPO and RTO performance compared to traditional solutions.
The StarWind Backup Appliance is delivered as a configured and ready-to-use backup server based on StarWind HyperConverged Appliance (HCA). Work with the product takes place through the web interface StraWind Web UI, there is also a plugin StarWind for vCenter.
High performance and reliability are achieved both through NVMe technology and by separating and isolating backup services from production data. At the same time, backup StarWind BA services load system resources only when they begin to perform a backup task.
Backup Appliance from StarWind is supported by ProActive Premium Support, which means that the backup infrastructure will run 24x7.
Data in backup storage is securely protected by RAID technologies and is completely separate from services that directly implement backups. You can also select one of the following hypervisors on the StarWind BA module:
- Microsoft Hyper-V versions 2016, 2019 or 2022
- VMware vSphere versions 6.5, 6.7, or 7.0
As of August 2021, 2 Backup Appliance models are available (BA 30 and BA 60):
Both models are single-unit servers with 30 or 60 TB of capacity (this is the usable capacity after creating RAID) and 64 GB of RAM on board.
The following are supported as data access protocols:
- iSCSI
- SMB3
- NFSv4.1
- NVMe-oF
Veeam Backup & Replication V10 and V11 are used as backup software. You can use Veeam ONE as your monitoring and reporting system.
