The StarWind 3.5.5 demo is available to all software users as a free download with potential restrictions and is not necessarily the full version of this software. StarWind 3.5.5 on 32-bit and 64-bit PCsThis download is licensed as shareware for the Windows operating system from network software and can be used as a free trial until the trial period ends (after 30 days). Data Deduplication: Data Deduplication is a specialized mechanism of data-compression that allows reducing needed storage capacity due to the process of eliminating duplicated data.CDP (Continuous Data Protection): CDP provides a replication mechanism to ensure an RPO (Recovery Point Objective) of zero data loss for applications that require a lower RPO than asynchronous replication can provide.Thin Provisioning: Allocate space dynamically for highly efficient disk utilization.Snapshots & Clones: Capture point-in-time snapshots with unlimited rollback points or make full volume copies.Remote / Asynchronous Replication: Replicates your storage to a remote site across a WAN.Failback with Fast Synchronization: Failback to an original system after an automatic failover.High Availability / Automatic Failover: Fault tolerant active-active technology eliminates a single point of failure.Synchronous Data Mirroring: Real-time data replication across a 2 node storage cluster.This software combined with StarPort iSCSI initiator running on client allows you to export any local CD and DVD burners to the network users, export local tape drives for backup and restore on client machine, "redirect" virtual hard disk drives over the network, export whole server storage subsystem over the network at the block level, work with the dynamic volume snapshots, incremental backups and virtual tapes etc. In the same window, go to the Targets tab from Adapter Details section. iSCSI takes a popular high-performance local storage bus and emulates (virtualizes) it over the networks. It allows two hosts to connect and exchange SCSI commands over IP networks. You can see the result in the screenshot below. StarWind iSCSI Initiator is a program that uses standard TCP/IP to transmit data packets. After that, navigate to Storage Adapters section and add Software iSCSI adapter. Windows iSCSI target with rich supported physical and virtual hardware list Now, select the host and go to the Configure tab.
