Compuverde: vNAS or Hyperconverged

Anyone using or testing this? http://compuverde.com/products/

Neither, but some areas of note just from looking at that site briefly:
"To begin with you need atleast three servers, but the more the better.
To be able to use as much raw disk as possible it's better to build many nodes rather then less nodes with lot's of storage disk in them.""All data is stored in multiple copies and possibly geographically separated locations within the cluster."
"Start as small as four nodes"
There are some strangely semi-conflicting statements within the site itself, and seeing the word "possibly" when describing where your data stripes are distributed within the cluster doesn't really fill me with too much confidence. You could always try it in the lab, but I haven't seen or heard of anyone using it in production at this moment in time. Also I'm not sure what your node count is looking like but if you're in the 2-4 range I'd recommend just sticking with what's industry proven.

SDS is a dining concept at best. With all major hypervisors having some built-in preferred virtual SAN tech spending money and time on anything third-party is... Waste of time at best. You have to have a reason. What's your reason?
-
@kooler No reason. Just wanted to reach out & see if anyone had this setup.
Your advice is well taken! -

The Microsoft version of "virtual SAN" isn't what one would call cheap?

@fateknollogee I mean that's depending on your deployment, it's included with 2016 Datacenter....

Never heard of this company.

That's a bit much!

And some more mature ones are free.

So is Storage Replica and whole bunch of things you aren't going to use if you aren't within hyperconverged setup. VMware with a separate SKU for VSAN got a better idea. ImHO.
