For 2 node clusters, Starwind VSAN is the way to go. Most other solutions don't even allow 2 node set ups. For businesses looking for a solid 2 node set up with redundancy, performance, and reliability look no further.

We chose StarWind SAN & NAS over Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct because it was more flexible to configure.

For companies wanting a lean 2 node HC cluster Starwind VSAN is the way to go. Performance, ease of setup, reliability, and management are very good. However, If companies have more than 2 node-setups Starwind isn't the best option as it only does mirrors. Having more than 2 nodes essentially means wasting 2/3 of storage capacity. If StarWind can add distributed raids in future releases that would be perfect

  • Even though we have had one host disk failure on one of the cluster nodes, there was no interruption to our users. The server was repaired and the StarWind SAN & NAS made the transition very simple.
  • There has been zero downtime since the StarWind SAN & NAS was implemented.,
