Very happy with the product and the support!
Overall Satisfaction with StarWind HyperConverged Appliance (HCA)
We are a company with about 50 employees and StarWind HCA is the backbone of our on-prem IT infrastructure. It runs 4 Windows Server VMs in a high-availability cluster + 2 Domain Controllers. When I started at the company everything was run off a single bare-metal server install and downtime was common. Since migrating to StarWind HCA performance has improved and downtime has been reduced to almost 0.
Pros
- A single off-the-shelf solution for a high-availability system (usually entails a mix of solutions)
- Support is excellent. Responses are prompt and reps are knowledgeable.
- Relatively low cost
Cons
- Command Center (web portal) management is slow and clunky. I find it easier to manage directly from the node OS.
- Scalability could be problematic for larger/faster-growing companies
- We used to have a couple hours a week of downtime when we ran everything on a single bare-metal server install. Since migrating to StarWind HCA we have almost 0 downtime.
