Seamless Hyper-V High Availability with Clear, Repeatable VM Replication Recovery

What I liked best about StarWind Virtual SAN was how well it fit into our normal Hyper-V operations. It gave us a straightforward way to keep VMs replicated to the other cluster as part of our standard deployment process, and when we needed to rebuild replication, the recovery steps were clear and repeatable. The biggest value for us was having practical high availability and easier recovery built into everyday infrastructure management.

Cost-Effective vSAN Solution with Outstanding Support

I find StarWind Virtual SAN to be a cheaper solution as a vSAN compared to VMware. I really like the support; they are simply great with fast responses and will work through an issue non-stop. During the initial setup, which was of medium difficulty, the support was very helpful and guided me until completion.

Flexible, Cost-Effective Virtual SAN That Works with Most Hardware

The Virtual SAN software plays well with most any hardware, and is very flexible. Keeping our costs down is always a top priority for small organizations such as ours. Virtual SAN is a much more cost effective option than new hardware by a large margin.
