Easy Cloud Backup Solution - A Must Have For Every Device

I have been using this product for a while now and i am always satisfied with its features. It's easy to connect with and it really helps me manage my data storage needs. There is nothing much that i dislike about this product at all. So far so good! Not a single thing. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for an easy way to manage their cloud backup solution. It's very user-friendly.It allows you to easily and quickly backup your files as well as access them from anywhere…

Easy-to deploy Cloud Solution: StarWind Virtual SAN

Its ease of deployment. We can provision a VM for testing purposes without having to worry about any hardware installation. Also, there is no need to physically connect two servers to make a storage node. It's just software that we download and configure. The price is also great compared to other cloud solutions. I haven't found anything that I dislike so far. I guess if you've used AWS EC2 or MS Azure VMs before, then you'll be familiar with StarWind Virtual SAN because it uses the same…

Pros
  • Can run both Windows/Linux virtual machines as well! Ease at managing replication between nodes within cluster when necessary iSCSI support included too
Cons
  • None

Easy setup and management, great support

We are using Vsan for our Hyper-Converged Infrastructure solution with VMware vSphere ESXi Server 6 Update 3. The product works as expected without any issues in my opinion. I would recommend this product if you want to have your own private cloud or need to store multiple workloads into one system. As mentioned above we are running several applications which require high performance storage systems. This enables us to run all these applications at once instead of having them spread out across

Pros
  • Multiple operating modes
  • High performing hardware (SAS drives)
  • Excellent software architecture, scalability easy upgrade process etc.
  • Very good support by technical staff during installation phase!Excellent service level agreements provided alongwith free techonology assistance from IBM professionals is something great about it :)
Cons
  • Nothing much really except that its pricing plans could be better than what
