Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Nutanix, VMware and others in HCI."StarWind Virtual SAN is a highly flexible solution, as it can be deployed on physical servers or on top of virtual machines running on hypervisors such as VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V."
"Speed and high availability have been the most valuable for us."
"The fact that we can expand our storage and add on to our compute nodes easily and how amazing the StarWind technical support team is really adding value to our purchase."
"The primary purpose of this software is to create a virtual SAN between local storage on Hyper-V hosts. I find this feature most valuable since it accomplishes this quite well."
"One of the standout features of StarWind.com is its remarkable ability to seamlessly integrate with Dell systems. This integration provides users with an unmatched level of convenience and compatibility, allowing for streamlined operations within a Dell environment. This compatibility factor alone can save significant time and effort for IT professionals, ensuring a smooth integration process and optimized performance."
"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."
"The most valuable features are high availability and real-time replication between two servers."
"This solution enables us to make better cost-effective use of our existing hardware and leverage the current infrastructure at a higher level than we could before."
"Integration with vCenter WebClient services and Cisco UCS Ecosystem, as it gives a Single Pane Of Management which lowers administration-cost (improving TCO)."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"Among the most valuable features are its granular replication, the ability to define asynchronous or synchronous replication, which gives us very definable RTOs and RPOs around that type of service, and granular quality-of-service configuration, which allows for cases where you've got multiple customers on a single Tintri, but you want to be able to offer strong quality-of-service metrics and KPIs."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"Ongoing improvements in read and write performance would help meet increasingly demanding workloads."
"It would be nice to see a new UI for the windows client, as it is not the easiest to find settings."
"The number of different ways you can set it up can make it a little daunting."
"Maybe in the future, the replication will be supported in more cloud providers."
"Updating the software can be a bit tricky."
"The system failovers properly on its own without too much worry."
"I'd love to see more clarification for us folks who are smart enough to do some damage yet not smart enough to use CLI."
"The platform needs to improve user management and the web console."
"Stability during installations/upgrades is a big issue."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"I would like to be able to add more storage capacity to our 2 units down the road with out buying an additional seprate array."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"The biggest area for improvement, and there has been some roadmap work in this area already, is cloud integration... Tintri has been investing in this area and I'm sure will continue to, but cloud integration has been the biggest area that we've been crossing our fingers and hoping for quick development around."
"More cloud integration."
"Tintri's Cloud Connector currently only goes to AWS and IBM Cloud, and we don't use either because we're Microsoft Silver Partners. It would be great to get the Cloud Connector feature with Azure. If it's not already on Tintri's roadmap, that's something I'd like to see."
"The Tintri OS and GlobalCenter software do a great job of showing you troubled VMs, however it still could be a bit more helpful in diagnosing the issues."
"What I feel would be nice, in terms of a wishlist, is scalability. Rather than replacing the whole appliance, I would like to be able to just add another unit and scale it like that."
