Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."StarWind support has been great in helping resolve other issues not caused by their software."
"The fact that I can now count on a true failover solution is what is most appealing."
"You can turn your local disk storage into high-availability iSCSI storage."
"StarWind allows us to move virtual machines from one physical host to another, which greatly reduces the downtime required for maintenance."
"The product's core feature of virtualizing our storage is by far the most valuable."
"User friendly interface and straight forward implementation."
"StarWind Virtual SAN is essentially hardware agnostic, allowing us to build out a specific hardware layer based upon the customer's unique requirements."
"It has reduced the amount of switching, network connections, etc., because the converged StarWind Virtual SAN allows us to connect high-speed network interfaces between different boxes instead of having to connect SANs via the network, then connect those two clusters together."
"The most valuable features are the full image backup, and the file or document sharing, allowing documents to be easily accessed from anywhere."
"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is the multi-tenancy model, we can create customers and services for them."
"Sync to Central and edge protection mitigate my risk in our branch offices. All services that need to be local to the user exist on local servers. Users run applications and access data locally while the data is constantly being synced to Central, and protected. If an edge device fails, we can recover quickly."
"The product can include a more simple way of synchronization after a forced shutdown as the current process has a few more steps to check that hosts have synchronized and this can be automated."
"I would like to see options for automated notifications of any changes, including, for example, synchronization issues."
"It would be great if it provided thin provisioned virtual disks."
"I would like to see an extensive set of cmdlets that could allow for easier automation as well as status management."
"I had issues locating the documentation that applied to my version of StarWind vSAN."
"It would be helpful if StarWind provided more precise and detailed documentation explaining how to configure the solution in various scenarios, including the advantages and disadvantages of each."
"I see no need for major improvements but there could be some improvements in the form of notifications and the simplifying of maintenance mode."
"If it's possible to make a driver/solution that does not make use of the iSCSI targets of Windows, that would be great. I don't know if that's possible, however, it could make the configuration a little easier."
"Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is too populated. They have many features, but some features are still missing, it is not complete. They need to improve many features, such as email security and disaster recovery."
"If they could make improvements with the virtual environment then it would be better."
"I would like to see real-time backup supported in the next release of this solution."
"Setting up disks for use is a multi-step process that could use some refinement. Setting up a core-to-core replication or DR strategy is also cumbersome."
