Why do you think so?
If you like StarWind performance you could think about replacing non-RDMA Intel NICs with Mellanox CX3 (they are cheap on eBay) or CX4 cards to...
Open-E is pretty shitty product in terms of performance, software quality/maturity and especially support being pretty much AWOL. If you plan to...
What's funny, in-VM is the only approach they do on VMware. I'm curious why did they decide to to "native" on Hyper-V, but run inside a VM on VMware?
You'll be fine with Ceph. Alternatively go GlusterFS (if you don't plan to scale out which is a bit complicated with G/FS). ScaleIO is history......
It was exceptionally difficult to configure in the right way and it was a show stopper. Many people were complaining and DellEMC decided to pull...
All listed are good solutions/options. Datacenter licensing isn't a big deal if you run hyperconverged, but for storage-only S2D is overpriced....
You can get the licenses under the table still, but ScaleIO has mediocre performance on few nodes, so anything below 8 simply doesn't make sense....
Assuming 2-way mirror Clustered Storage Spaces (C/S/S) Vs. StarWind vSAN. StarWind will be faster on reads (because it will read from two sets of...
You can do FreeBSD (Linux?) with ZFS combined with some shared SAS drives to build dual-controller DIY SAN. Check this out --> Home ยท...
Interesting! From your list Stormagic is the only "laggard" who uses controller VMs to provide storage. Last time we checked them they would...
These are pretty amazing numbers! 5+ GB/sec with a sub-20% CPU & 30 ms response time. Any chance to see 4KB 100% random reads & 4KB 100% random...
I don't think so... Some of the critical API calls are missing so software vendors have explicitly re-write their software to support Nano. +...
I don't want to dive deep into EULA but there's something about "help to manage or run virtual machines". Storage stack can be considered as...
You right. Consider it done.
Four sockets in 4U... He'd better go for 2*R730(XD).
Nano went South :( Delivering continuous innovation with Windows Server Based on that feedback, we are making an important change to Nano...
Agent-based VM backups? You serious?!? We aren't in 2009 anymore! :) We switched CommVault -> Veeam years ago and to accept customer and his...
That's a good point but... As long as HCI vendor supports storage only and / or compute only nodes non-symmetric scalability isn't an issue.
Tiny correction: It actually was LeftHand Networks (now part of HPE!) who came out with their VSA and HCI product first. It was... 6 years before...
