Proactive support with improved speed and resilience

Pros

"The StarWind command centre is a very handy tool to have. It allows less skilled staff to have a view and manage our virtual machines. "

Cons

"It would be amazing if there was, perhaps, a more automated process for updating the hosts themselves, although the maintenance mode works well."

Great high availability with easy updating and top-shelf support

Pros

"Being able to upgrade machines and software during business operations just by switching nodes has been a huge improvement. We"

Cons

"We need to be very cautious in following every step when updating the physical host. We must move over each VM and drain roles from the servers to ensure everything goes smoothly without interruptions. If this were a more automated process, this would be less taxing each time an upgrade is needed."

Well-priced, allows for live migrations, and offers good storage

Pros

"The product runs wonderfully and has already gone through several failure tests."

Cons

"What would have to be done urgently is the adaptation of the hardware to the configuration. "

Excellent support, high-quality hardware, and improved performance

Pros

"The high-quality hardware options, directly affecting performance, have significantly improved the user experience and are well worth the cost."

Cons

"The only area that surprised me had to do with the fact that each host runs a StarWind virtual machine used to maintain the health of the vSAN, which individually uses 24GB of memory per host. You should keep this in mind when determining the resources you will need when selecting hardware and components for your specific setup. If I knew that, I would have chosen to add more memory per host to make up for the use. "
