Overall Satisfaction with StarWind HyperConverged Appliance (HCA)
When I first started this role, all applications and services ran on physical servers. I migrated those physical servers to ESXi and re-deployed those applications and services as VMs. Over time, we needed more HA capabilities and StarWind HCA along with vSphere Essentials met that need at a very good price point.
Pros
- Ease of deployment
- No need to create a storage network with their Virtual SAN
- Great ProActive Support
Cons
- Virtual SAN setup requires more storage than traditional
- Steps need to do maintenance can be a little confusing
- Had to use Windows Server licenses at time of deployment
- Postive impact, filling a HA need
- Reduced footprint of physical servers
We looked at some tradtional solutions from HP and Dell along with Nutanix. StarWind had the best solution and price overall.
