“Reliable operation with minimal intervention after expert-led setup”
We started on the Free VirtualSAN and while it met our initial needs we realized we needed more control. After purchasing the software StarWind's support reached out to set up an implementation and a Knowledge Expert walked me through the entire process. Since then it has run flawlessly and I have not had to really touch any part of it.
