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.
- 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.
