Overall Satisfaction with StarWind HyperConverged Appliance (HCA)

We were in the middle of an installation of a new ERP system and we were needed a stable server that would be running 24/7 since we are working round-the-clock and in multiple locations around the world. When looking for a redundant system to put some of our most important VMs (HyperV), we found a Starwind solution. We got a great demo from the StarWind sales department and we proceeded with a 2 node server. Until now, this is one of the best systems that we have and we have increased our partnership with them with another 3 node server. We had some issues with the creation of the CSV and other small issues, but the support from their customer service is really great and proactive. I say proactive because they are keeping track of the system alerts and contacting us to offer their help. "
  • Strong customer focus (great support)
  • Overall cost
  • Proactive support / advice
  • A bit hard to implement at the beginning but worked with the help of the support
  • I would have purchased a 3 node instead of a 2 node to start. The 3 node is better since we can have 2 servers down and still be running.
  • Since the 3 nodes are plugged together, the cabling management is a bit of a mess behind the server but not so bad either.
  • Increased Availability and Increased infrastructure redundancy
  • Reduced IT maintenance (24/7 Proactive Monitoring)
  • Cost Savings versus other similar solutions
StarWind AI-based proactive premium support helped us a lot of time, from small detections (low space on CSV) to bigger issues (VM detected as corrupt). They are able to catch most of the issues that we don't really look at every day and that's a great thing when you want to have a good infrastructure redundancy.
No downtime as of yet. Everything is going great.
They offer the same core functions as them but with a much better price and with the ability to supply hardware, "software" and support.

Where StarWind HCA is at his best is for his proactive support and their knowledge in addition to their low-cost systems. Their support team is here from start to finish and makes sure everything goes great on our side. The hardware provided is rock solid and the use is limitless, depending on your need, you can go small or big with more redundancy. I don't see any scenarios where it is less appropriate.
