Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."StarWind Virtual SAN is a very easy-to-use solution that can be quickly and easily deployed and configured without intimate and specific knowledge in the virtualization sphere."
"Starwind made it easy to deploy fully redundant, highly available storage at a low cost."
"When using new (warranty) servers, you can forget about the storage service for several years. The users will not even notice the failure of two servers out of three."
"This was a great implementation for a small to mid-size business."
"It has great free trials that allow end users to test a large variety of their products before deciding to buy the full product."
"vSAN we found was simple to set up, easy to configure and manage and allows us to achieve storage redundancy."
"StarWind vSAN is a great solution to create a redundant two-node-only Hyper-V cluster, both for domain or workgroup scenarios."
"As the client had acquired another company some distance away, they were concerned about having a single SAN in one location or the other. StarWind vSAN allowed us to keep a copy of the data local to each site without asking the client to pay for two SANs in addition to the two new servers they needed."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the concept of hyper-convergence."
"Installation is straightforward because it's a vSAN. It only took one or two days."
"We find the setup quite straightforward and very easy."
"Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Series' deployment is easy. We are a tier-one platinum partner who is into multiple implementations."
"The VX machines are scalable."
"The logs can also become very noisy when there is an issue, which is very infrequent."
"For me, the product could be improved by it being made cheaper."
"An update caused a syncing issue and it took over a month to resolve it"
"The main thing I would like to see improved is the level of documentation."
"The documentation is good yet is still lacking in a few areas."
"I would like additional documentation regarding possible networking configurations with 10GbE switching."
"It would be great if it provided thin provisioned virtual disks."
"The configuration can a bit cumbersome."
"Lenovo ThinkAgile MX Certified Node’s support services could be faster."
"The user management could be a bit better. It's something they could improve upon in future releases."
"Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Series needs to improve its stability. Its resolution should be faster."
"Support could be better."
"With the VX machines, the clients often confuse the hardware itself with the services and resources. VMs are configured according to resources - memory, hard disk capacity, and network. These resources, including memory and processor, are actually shared on the VX Series. So, if the server's processor is underpowered or unreliable for the VMs, many of the VMs will encounter issues. Ideally, the physical server configuration should align more closely with the needs of the virtual servers."
