Overall Satisfaction with StarWind HyperConverged Appliance (HCA)
Being a facility that hosts horse shows and restaurants we need servers in a HA solution to ensure that shows are not delayed and we didn't have any major downtime. The StarWind HCA vSAN solution gave us the product we needed to ensure we stay online. Our horse show software is necessary to run each of these shows and very necessary element for our companies success.
- Coping date every second in real time
- instant failover
- the ability to upgrade software in background without affecting users during business hours
- I can't say I know of specific areas of improvement. I like the way the systems work. Sometimes I have hard time understanding the support team on the phone but it's not bad.
- operating on two servers instead of three in most vSAN envorments save money on server cost
- No after hours upgrades needs. So staff not working after hours
We looked at Scale Computing as another option that was more expensive. There may have been a couple more bells and whistles but for our organization and pricepoint, Starwind fit the bill. With Scale your needed three nodes and with StarWind only 2. Also, StarWind offered refurbished servers with a strong protection plan that brought costs to a more reasonable place for our organization.
