Overall Satisfaction with StarWind Virtual SAN

After one of our Hyper-V hosts went down with a hardware failure, we sought to create a highly available on-prem infrastructure with very limited budget. StarWind Virtual SAN became the obvious choice as it supports a mere 2-node hyperconverged for Hyper-V. We now runs all our production VMs on this cluster and it has been great - we can take down one of the nodes for maintenance even during working hours and VMs just live migrates to the other node in a few seconds - almost no perceivable downtime to end users.
  • shared storage for hyperconverged infra
  • great support
  • documentation sometimes a bit confused
  • Enables a smoothly working, highly available 2-node Hyper-V cluster
  • It saves us at least the cost of one server node - $20000
Support was wonderful. During the evaluation stage, StarWind Virtual SAN offered to provide some free remote support to help me get my test environment up and running. They also offered to review all our configuration during implementation and explain each configuration very clearly.
