Overall Satisfaction with StarWind Virtual SAN

We implemented StarWind VSAN for a client needing redundant storage at two remote production sites. We needed to provide a simple way to manage storage solutions with redundancy and high availability for virtual servers. This product allowed us to utilize existing hardware, reduce implementation costs and provide a scalable solution allowing for future growth.
  • Simple management.
  • Great tech support.
  • Lower hardware costs.
  • Support documentation can be confusing for new users.
  • We were able to implement redundancy at a much lower price point than possible with hardware solutions.
Support techs have been very helpful in both implementation and day-to-day operations. All interactions with the company so far have provided highly knowledgeable staff who have been able to help us quickly with any issues that have arisen.

Great for small businesses looking to improve their system reliability that may not have the budget for hardware-based solutions. Existing servers can be used to provide VSAN services and achieve redundancy with as few as two hosts.
