StarWind HyperConverged Appliance's have been stellar for our nonprofit organization!
Overall Satisfaction with StarWind HyperConverged Appliance (HCA)
I am the sole sysadmin at a small nonprofit. We replaced our old VMware hosts/SAN storage with a pair of StarWind HyperConverged Appliance's and have since converted numerous physical servers to VM's and have been smoothly running about 50 VM's on our StarWind HyperConverged Appliance's ever since then. The StarWind HyperConverged Appliance's have been instrumental in helping us to simplify our server and network environment and provide the capacity, performance, and stability we need to virtualize more of our infrastructure.
Pros
- Proactive monitoring of our StarWind HyperConverged Appliances - We've only had a couple minor issues, and all have been identified early.
- Fantastic support - Support is knowledgeable and can fix things in a remote session or provide guidance.
- Very reliable - We've never had VM downtime on our cluster in our almost 3 years.
- Super easy onboarding process - Sales was knowledgeable and very helpful in helping us to pick the "right size" StarWind HyperConverged Appliance's.
Cons
- I honestly don't have anything to complain about. Nothing is perfect, but the only issues we had were promptly identified and resolved with minimal effort on my part, and were caught early and did not cause downtime. We've basically had almost 3 years of smooth sailing and 100% uptime.
- Simplification of our server and network environment - Has freed up my time and focus to the services provided by our VM's.
- No longer purchasing individual servers - Our virtualization needs are well met by the StarWind HyperConverged Appliance's.
- Reduced server maintenance costs - Not having to pay maintenance on new servers, just our few remaining physical servers and our StarWind HyperConverged Appliance's.
