Overall Satisfaction with StarWind Virtual SAN
We reduced our on-site storage by roughly half by moving it to the cloud so we wanted to also downsize our on-site storage cost as well when our NetApp SAN reached end of life. There did not seem to be any good options to accomplish this however until I discovered StarWind VSAN on an onine forum post. After thoroughy checking them out with other customers, scouring the net, talking with sales and tech people and doing a 30 day trial, I was sold. We ended up meeting our goal of reducing on-site stoage cost by half of what we paid for the NetApp 6 years earlier and performance and support have been second to none. I highly recommend StarWind VSAN!
- High availabilty
- High performance
- Easy to administer
- More guidance/examples/suggestions on how to conduct the free evalutation with ur system
- We reduced on-site storage costs by half vs. the original cost of 6 years ago of our end of life NetApp SAN that we were replacing.
- We maintained high availability - even without a physical SAN
- We have noticed zero loss in performance
Have not evaluated or used any other Virtual SAN products. VMWare's offereing requires 3 ESXi host servers so that would have made storage costs too high.
