High Availability that works for VM Storage!

With Starwind VSAN, we are able to totally change how the existing SAN infrastructure is utilized. Before there was a very expensive SAN sitting at a secondary location literally service no purpose for production. It would only ever be used if there was a site failure or SAN failure. But with this new solution, both our SANs are actively used to provide storage for production VMs, basically turning our two SANs into a RAID1!

For SMB looking for affordable HCA you can't go wrong with Starwind

Their proactive support is fantastic. They will reach out to you if they get any alerts from your cluster. The technicians are very knowledgeable as well. The first tech has always been able to resolve any issues without needing to escalate. They also offer a switchless cluster for 2-3 nodes. No need to manage a separate stack of SAN switches.
