Overall Satisfaction with StarWind Virtual SAN

We've been using StarWind Virtual SAN in a 2-node cluster configuration across two physical servers, complemented by a storage array and a NAS. For our small to mid-sized business, this setup has been truly a relief as this solution delivers true high availability and performance without the complexity or any additional costs. Our main concerns were High Availability, Performance and flexibility with existing hardware.

Pros

  • real time replication
  • intergrates with hyper v
  • scalable and reliable

Cons

  • nothing to add
  • ROI
  • Straightforward Deployment & Management
it's a scalable, easy to deploy and manage solution which has given us the freedom of spending more time to other projects we are currently running in parallel as once deployed, it's like fire and forget. it requires minimum monitoring, and on top of that, we have combined all hardware without the need of purchasing additional
StarWind is generally more cost-effective, flexible, and suitable for small businesses just like ours rather using a more expensive solution. Licensing per node instead of each CPU is a must. we saved a lot just for this. in a 2 node scenario, like what we have, it's simply the perfect solution we could have.

The software-defined approach gave us the freedom to design around what we already had. this gave us the ability to concentrate in other projects as we managed to have more time for those.
