History

StarWind Software is a privately held company which began in 2008 as a spin-off from Rocket Division Software, Ltd. (founded in 2003), with a round A of investment from ABRT Venture Fund.[1] StarWind is headquartered in Wakefield, Massachusetts, USA.

StarWind iSCSI SAN software had reviews[2][3] such as ZDNet,[4] OpenBench Labs,[5] AnandTech,[6] TechRepublic,[7][8] and Microsoft TechNet.[9] In 2009 StarWind Software won the Sprout Award from Everything Channel at XChange '09.[10]

In December 2013 StarWind Software nearly won both "Storage Virtualization Product of the Year" and "Virtualization Management Product of the Year" titles from SVC Awards with Emulex LightPulse Gen 5 Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters by Emulex and Cisco UCS Director (formerly Cloupia) by Cisco products in front.[11]
