Have anyone done studies comparing Starwind VSAN, VMware VSAN, and SAN Appliance such as HP, EMC, NetApp in term:
1- Performance ~ iops
2- Management ~ how easy and flexible
3- Requirements which at the end will translate to cost
4- Features
5- Integration with VMware vSphere and vCenter
6- Reliability
7- Redundancy
8- Compression & Deduplication -- inline compression/dedup or post-processing
9- Cost
Traditional SAN Appliance can be costly and the idea behind the vSAN is to commoditize hardware - servers and disk. What hardware does anyone in this board has experience with aside from the big 3 - HP, Cisco, Dell which cost a bundle just to build vSAN infrastructure.
Does anyone have any experience with Supermicro or Quanta with StarWind vSAN with VMware vSphere 6.x?
Thanks and greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
