Software Defined Storage (SDS) Solutions

We were looking for a cost effective way to create a cluster system running Hyper-V VMs without having to deploy an expensive NAS server. We can use local high speed Nvme storage and share between the cluster nodes.

Fast
Easy to use
Great support from Starwind

Ease of use
Reliable
Low cost
Excellent support
Makes use of lower cost local attached nvme storage
Not confined to configuration rules as with Storage Spaces

Even though we have had one host disk failure on one of the cluster nodes, there was no interruption to our users. The server was repaired and the StarWind SAN & NAS made the transition very simple.
There has been zero downtime since the StarWind SAN & NAS was implemented.,

We utilize Starwind VSAN for all our hyper-converged deployments. Value, ease of deployment, manageability, and performance have been very good. Super easy to deploy compared to some other SDS / HC storage applications. Value wise Starwind VSAN is probably the best ROI out of the other solutions.

Ease of Deployment
Management interface
Documentation and support
performance

Documentation could be little better
Have a distributed raid option

Ease of deployment
High performance
value on investment

Allowed us to go all flash for 1/5 the cost
Boosted end user experience due to high iops on flash
lowered expenses on arrays and licensees

vSphere, Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure, Hyper-V

Currently, we are using StarWind for a particular product where we are using it at a place of using storage for servers. Its functionality to mirror local hard disks and flash between hypervisor serves is really great which is also a cost-efficient solution at a place or some costly storage service.

mirroring internal disks and flash between hypervisor servers.
Creates powerful environment at low cost.
Allows maintenance in zero down time.

Can improve documentation.
Can more focus on user training.

Transparent usage
Free migration assistance
Command center

Can't see any such negative impact so far.
