I highly recommend StarWind Virtual SAN as an SDS solution. It can work with any type of hardware, by enabling us to build a specific hardware layer based on each customer's unique requirements. We also now have the ability to migrate live machines in our environment. I would say that StarWind helps us make more cost-effective usage of our existing hardware and leverage our current infrastructure at a higher level than we could ever before. Once we deployed it, we immediately noticed huge performance gains, even on older hardware.
I would say that the top benefits of StarWind Virtual SAN are:
Cost effective: This is one of the cheapest products in the market. Our ROI is phenomenal. In addition to its low price, we also save money on hardware since the tool’s virtualization is so effective.
Stability: This is a robust and solid solution. We’ve never had issues with performance or stability. Since we have deployed it to production, we have had 100% uptime.
Scalability: The scalability is excellent. Right now, we have over 15TB of disks.
Top-notch support: Starwind’s support is excellent. They have very fast response times and have very good knowledge of the system. Support is available via teleconference or online. They also assist with testing and implementation.
Easy configuration and management: StarWind’s user interface is easy to work with.
I would like to see more available documentation for the solution. Better documentation would have quickly solved some issues I encountered when I started using the tool. Other than that, this solution has so many valuable features that it brings to the table. StarWind improves all areas in our organization, including performance, data availability, and data security. I rate it a 10/10
What is software-defined storage? Software-defined storage (SDS) is a software-based storage solution that provides greater flexibility and independence than the traditional network-attached storage (NAS) or storage area network (SAN). Although software-defined storage can work in and on top of both NAS and SAN environments, it is usually created to perform on the industry common x86 servers.
Software-defined storage allows for separation and independence from traditional hardware...
