"It allows you to use ANY consumer or enterprise HDDs and SSDs, and that's a really great thing!"
"This was a great implementation for a small to mid-size business."
"When using new (warranty) servers, you can forget about the storage service for several years. The users will not even notice the failure of two servers out of three."
"StarWind support has been great in helping resolve other issues not caused by their software."
"The biggest benefit was that it allowed us to provide SAN services on a limited hardware budget."
"StarWind is very easy to use, even if you have had no experience using a SAN before."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the product's deployment phase is pretty easy."
"The most valuable features of the Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series are the ease of use and simple configuration."
"The initial setup is simple. We were able to deliver the hyper-convergence solution in a very good time."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the concept of hyper-convergence."
"I would like to see improvements in the documentation area."
"In the next release, they could make some graphs of the real-time loading, speed of storage, and interfaces. Of course, these can be viewed in other places. But, in the event of a malfunction or troubleshooting, this would be convenient."
"I would like to see different levels of support offered."
"I would like to see more advanced free versions."
"I would like to see some additional, and possibly clearer, implementation videos with some slower and possibly more detailed descriptions of what the various steps of implementation are for someone who is unfamiliar with high availability and failover clustering in Windows."
"Management of VSAN itself could be improved. A Web UI for management would be great rather than an application installation. StarWind is testing a command center virtual appliance that I have installed in my environment."
"I would like additional documentation regarding possible networking configurations with 10GbE switching."
"I would love to see more vendor selection to be available for the HCA/vSAN appliances."
"There is a delay in the availability of similar versions of firmware from both the products, which are VMware and Nutanix for Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series, due to the delayed releases from both products, maybe by a quarter or so."
"Here in Nigeria, the only challenge that we have, which I think is also experienced globally is the delay in bringing in the spare parts. This is a challenge facing our country, such as the Forex market. However, this is beyond the control of Lenovo themselves."
"Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series could improve by having better integration with the solutions from VMware and vCenter"
"Lenovo ThinkAgile MX Certified Node’s support services could be faster."
