Overall Satisfaction with StarWind Virtual SAN



Looked to migrate to hyper-converged architecture with an affordable, scalable solution.
Starwind is a fantastic hyper-converged solution for SMB. The price point
and pricing options allow for SMB deployment of a plug and play, scalable
solution that won't break the bank.
Compared to other options in the HCA space, Starwind stands out. Their monitoring and support is built into the solution and allows for a production ready environment that doesn't take many resources to manage or deploy.
If you run a Hyper-V environment, their single-pane monitoring command platform will greatly assist management of the environment.
