I'm definitely interested in trying out StarWinds vSAN, but I don't currently have anything to use it on.

VM-based stand is OK. also we're in Azure Marketplace so you can play with StarWind using free $200 Microsoft Azure trial hardware-less.

Hope this helped 🙂

That's not an uncommon approach.

That is exactly why we use it. We use the Action Pack for application builders.

What kind of PM you want? How to chunk physical LAN into two vLANs? It's not really StarWind thing and there's nothing private there 🙂

Then you move AS IS.

Something along those lines... 8-)

Oh, actually Superhero is really nice. The reply box is still white and funny looking though.

@BRRABill Yes as a matter of fact we do. Any proof of concept box can be configured and shipped to you, and if it didn't fit your needs we would provide the return shipping label at no cost to you.

That is very awesome!

@LAH3385 might be good to start a thread and try to determine what your needs are before going down the path of technology. By the time you were asking this question, you were already in pretty deep assuming certain products, product categories and platform HA. We should start with a business needs analysis, use that to set goals and then use the goals to select technology approaches.
