Overall Satisfaction with StarWind Virtual SAN

This product offers cheap yet the best features for any small and medium enterprise. We wanted to build a test lab to replicate certain issues we were facing in a production environment. Going with hardware-based storage was not a possible solution as we were already in the budget-cutting phase. I chose this VSAN product where we didn't have to buy any additional hardware, yet it fulfilled our purpose. Management was so happy with it that we decided to retain this lab forever for testing we might need to do in the future as well.

Pros

  • Easy to deploy
  • Easy to manage
  • User-friendly interface
  • Deploying new servers is easy

Cons

  • A remote console will be a game changer for StarWind Virtual SAN
  • Extremely cost saving if you compare to any hardware based storage box.
Received timely response always on email support. Never tried their phone support so far, but I'm sure they will be good at it too.
  • Lenovo Converged HX Series (Discontinued) and EMC VNX (Discontinued)

Whenever you are running short on budget and cannot afford to buy new storage hardware, this is the way to go. Easy to manage and deploy, almost all the features you will get from a physical storage box. The best product for test environments as well, where you have to wipe the data time and again for testing purposes.
