The words disk operating system refers to system software used in most computers that provides the abstraction and management of secondary storage devices and the information on them.

For example, you have several files systems meant for organizing data files of all sorts. Such software is referred to as a disk operating system when the storage devices it manages are made of rotating platters such as hard disks or floppy disks.

In the early days of micro computing, memory space was often limited so the disk operating system was an extension of the operating system. Read the rest of this entry →

In computing, ISCSI is a shortening for Internet Small Computer System Interface.

Basically it’s an Internet Protocol based storage networking standard which deals with linking data storage facility.

StarWind Software, a leading software development company, manufactures and provides storage virtualization due to its iSCSI SAN software.

The primary task of this software is to convert any Windows server into a dependable and high quality SAN. The company was founded in 2003. It has been popular in over 100 countries and is used by a large number of customers.

The software solutions are of exceptional quality and they satisfy a number of IT demands successfully. Having a worldwide partners and resellers chain helps the company to work with many leading companies.

The company has already got a brilliant customers profile: Dell, Microsoft, NASA, Toyota, Avis and many more. The fact that the company has its own real-time customer support is among company’s biggest pluses.

Some distinctive features of the software are described below. The software uses TCP/IP allowing two hosts to negotiate SCSI commands using the same IP network. Due to the latter, a Storage Area Network (SAN) is created.

ISCSI requires no additional cabling. System administrators may use the software to allow server computers to access disk volumes. Mainly it has two objectives i.e. storage consolidation and disaster recovery.

Talking about its other products, we couldn’t fail to mention StarWind (iSCSI Target Software), StarPort (iSCSI software initiator) and some free products like StarWind Free, StarPort Free and StarWind V2V Converter.

The latter allows converting VMware files to Microsoft Hyper-V format and vice versa. StarPort allows establishing connections to ISCSI target & AoE device.

There is some downloadable software that can be found at www.starwindsoftware.com.

The IT project solutions that can be implemented with these software solutions include Server Virtualization, Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery etc.

As software, developed for global usage, the products successfully support Exchange Server, Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware, SQL database, Oracle database.

When it comes to the industries the StarWind software can be used in, it becomes clear that the software will function perfectly well in any industry, including health, education, government, financial services etc.

The earliest of computers didn’t have an operating system.  By the early 1960’s, commercial computer vendors were supplying quite extensive tools for streamlining the development, scheduling and execution of jobs on batch processing systems.

Through the 1960’s, several concepts were developed which drove the development of operating systems.

The IBM System 360 produced a family of mainframe computer that served consumers with differing capacities and prices.

A single operating system was planned for these computers rather than developing generic programs for every individual model. Read the rest of this entry →
