Overall Satisfaction with StarWind HyperConverged Appliance (HCA)

StarWind HyperConverged Appliance (HCA) is our primary server setup. The setup has allowed us to have a redundant server solution with lower hardware costs. The support the solution comes with means you always have an extra set of eyes watching your servers and will notify you when you have issues on the servers. The solution has allowed us to extend our server offerings due to an HDD\SSD hybrid configuration.
  • Reduced Hardware Costs
  • Support
  • Simplified set up
  • Control centre needs email notifications
  • CSV creation could be easier
  • Increased IOPS from about 3000 to 33000
  • Reduced hardware costs
Always proactive to assist with issues, quick to respond, and help you get the servers back up and running in a short amount of time. Support is always knowledgeable, willing to help, and to look into anything you ask them when things are quite working as expected.
We have had a few incidents but most have actually been due to hardware vendor issues that have required updates rather than the Starwind software, the few issues we have had generally get fixed quickly, although take a while to sort themselves i.e if a full sync is required it's a quick fix but a long time for sync to occur.

The server went down at a weekend, support was on hand to quickly get the server back up and running before the next working day. Availability of hardware when we purchased was slim, and we wished we had waited for another vendor but the servers we were provided weren't bad just better vendors out there we would have waited for.
