Overall, our experience with Scale Computing has been positive. The units have been reliable and the management interface is intuitive enough that it doesn't add overhead to our team. For a logistics operation like ours where uptime matters, it's been a solid platform. Setup was straight forward and day to day management hasn't required much intervention.

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.

5. HPE SimpliVity

By Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)

4.4

(312 Ratings)

Before Simplivity, our backup and DR processes felt fragile and time consuming. Now, they're quietly dependable. Policy-based replication gives us peace of mind, and those sub-minute VM restores have been a lifesaver during maintenance windows. Our VMware admins adopted it quickly because it didn't feel like learning a whole new platform. Storage savings from deduplication were better than we expected.
