Overall Satisfaction with StarWind Virtual SAN

I implemented Starwind VSAN to build an HCI 2-NOdes Hyper-V Cluster without buying an expensive SAN or without using S2D which requires Windows Server Datacenter Edition, a lot of SSD, and a lot of other HD.
  • Build an HCI cluster.
  • Restar in case of a failure, power outage and so on.
  • Great support in all deployment steps.
  • Just prefer an Italian version.
  • Cost saving
  • Improved risk mitigation.
Starwind gave me support before buying VSAN to test it during installation and to check my configuration.
  • HPE StoreVirtual VSA (Discontinued)
S2D needs a lot of HDD to work properly, you must use a minimum of 2 SSD RAID 0 for cache, and a minimum of 4 HDD for data and it's more difficult to manage. HPE doesn't support anymore VSA.
It's very simple, stable and Starwind Support is great.
