StarWind Software

Hi everybody.
I'm trying to use starwind iscsi with a vmware vSphere infrastructure.
I'm amazed with the free tool! I tested some vSphere features like VMotion DRS and HA and I appreciate the excellent performance.
Now I wanted to learn something more about other advanced solutions, but I have first to do some questions.
First question is: do I have to use always only windows machine to present target datastore? If I need a mirroring datastore, for example, do I have to set up 2 windows machine? I remember some similar product (lefthand or datacore for example) which used a linux VSA machine to present the storage (vmdk disk).
Second question is: does the replication feature allow the integration with VMware SRM?
Thank you and sorry for the bad english

Yes, for now you can use only Win machine for replication.
For now we don`t provide VmWare SRA for SRM, but we plan to release it.
And don`t worry, your English is quite well

Thank you! Someone could tell me how much (about) I have to spend in order to have starwind enterprise with mirroring and replication? I know that without mirroring and replication it cost 995$....

Unfortunately we don't provide sales quotes information in the public forum. I've replied to your registration e-mail with Sales Dept staff in %CC% so you should hear from them ASAP.

You'll be able to use Linux-based VSA (Virtual Storage Appliance) as destination for replication pretty soon.
