StarWind Software, Inc. is a software and hardware appliance company based in Beverly, Massachusetts[1] specializing in storage virtualization and software-defined storage. Originally held privately, it was acquired by DataCore Software in May 2025.[2]

History

[edit | edit source]

StarWind Software began in 2008 as a spin-off from Rocket Division Software, Ltd. (founded in 2003)[citation needed], with a round A[citation needed] of investment from venture capital firm ABRT.[3] It started providing early adopters with initially free software defined storage offerings in 2009, including its V2V (virtual-to-virtual) image converter and iSCSI SAN software.[4][5][6][7]

In 2013, hard drive manufacturer Western Digital began integrating StarWind's iSCSI engine with some of the company's Network Attached Storage (NAS) appliances.[8]

In February 2020, StarWind's Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) software StarWind VSAN set performance benchmarks for off the shelf commodity hardware.[9] In December, StarWind was named to Gartner's Magic Quadrant for HCI software.[1]

In March 2022, the Wall Street Journal reported how the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine was affecting technology firms with a significant presence in Ukraine, including StarWind.[10] Once the invasion was imminent, the company helped its employees move out of the country, including relocating 60 of the 180 workers from its Kyiv, Ukraine office to Wroclaw, Poland.[10] The company also reportedly doubled the salaries of employees who enlisted in the Ukrainian army.[10]

In May 2025, StarWind was acquired by DataCore Software.[11]

Products

StarWind develops "standards-based storage virtualization and management software that will run on any x86 platform".[12] Its software-defined storage software supports building iSCSI,[13] iSER, NVM Express over Fabrics (NVMe-oF),[14] and NFSv3/v4 and SMB3 NAS using commodity hardware.[citation needed]
