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.

I have experienced excellent services throughout the period I have been using this great platform. We have been able to get [a] universal storage platform for all our data that enhances security for any saved information. Our team implementing projects and tasks from remote areas can easily interlink with our team members from the organization for teamwork.

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
