StarWind HyperConverged Appliance Reviews

StarWinds solution delivers as promised and saves us over $100,000 over the next 3 years

What do you like best?

The most helpful portions of StarWinds HyperConverged Appliance for our environment were the scalability of the solution, reliability of the solution, redundancy of the solution, and the lowered upfront and re-occurring hardware cost via the VSAN portion of the product.

What do you dislike?

We love everything about the solution, the setup, the support we have received from StyarWinds. The only portion we would like to see improved at this time would be the StarWinds Command Center application they have developed to make management more effortless. However, it is a supplemental tool to go along with HyperV Manager and Failover cluster manager, so it does not detract from the solution's usability.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I would recommend you utilize StarWinds HyperConverged Appliance Solution or VSAN solution, depending on your current hardware. The solution works as advertised, the performance is as expected, and the cost savings are significant.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We wanted to find a more dynamically scalable solution with a lower upfront capital cost than the previous physical SAN unit and independent virtual hosts. Using StarWinds we have realized a much lower upfront cost due to hardware-agnostic support and realized our goal of a scalable solution.
