Overall Satisfaction with StarWind Virtual SAN
We deployed StarWind Virtual SAN in a 2-node configuration along with a brand new deployment of two HA VMWaRe vSphere nodes. We were looking for a solution that would work with less than 3 nodes and not further increase our dependance on VMWare licensing while retaining good support and performance.
- High availability
- Storage Performance
- Direct hardware passthrough
- NMVe storage
- Virtual appliance password security
- Taking full advantage of NVMe storage performance
- We were able to purchase less server hardware
- Our VMWare licensing cost is lower
- We could move to Hyper-V if VMWare becomes too expensive
HPE and Dell solutions were just too expensive for our budget. HPE's solution lacked performance. Dell's solution is plagued by bad reviews which told stories of broken patching procedures and terrible support experiences. The only company who offered me a trial of their systems was StarWind and through that trial was I able to feel very confident in the solution.
