Overall Satisfaction with StarWind Virtual SAN
StarWind Virtual SAN is being used by the whole organization and it addresses the hyper-v needs with its ability to create use of high-speed storage across multiple high-speed NICs and with 2 separate 2 node clusters in use it makes it easier to leverage both of or heavy-duty needs and also the ability to move as needed between clusters.
- Consolidate NVME storage and allow for scalability.
- Allow for fast synchronization between cluster nodes.
- Allows for faster recovery when a cluster goes down.
- Notifications could use some work.
- Mobile app companion could be helpful.
- Better pricing would also be helpful.
- Cost seemed to high for us, but worth it for the reliability.
- Performance improvements were 10 fold for us and very timely for our needs.
- Overall business objectives were met and sustained for now 2 years.
I like that StarWind Virtual SAN allows for heterogeneous hardware and not tied to one specific platform like Nutanix. In other words, we can use Dell or HP, or any other name brand with the proper specs to meet the basic criteria for a proper StarWind Configuration with Fast NVME drives and fast 10g network cards.
