StarWind Virtual HCI Appliance Reviews

From a single console, you can gain centralized visibility, efficient and simplified management at scale, as well as extensibility in the hybrid cloud. VMware vCenter Server provides a centralized management platform for your VMware vSphere environment, allowing you automate and deliver a hybrid cloud infrastructure with confidence. vCenter can be deployed quickly as a virtual appliance that is optimized and easy to maintain. vSphere Update manager is integrated into vCenter Server Appliance to make patching and upgrades fast and simple. RESTful APIs make it easy to deploy vCenter Server Appliance using a template. This reduces human error and speeds up deployment. No matter what version of vCenter is running, you can extend your on-premises infrastructure to vSphere public clouds such as VMware Cloud On AWS.

Maxta Hyperconvergence software allows IT to choose servers or hypervisors, scale storage independently of compute, and run mixed workloads within the same cluster. Maxta is free from vendor lock-in, refresh tax, and upgrade tax, unlike hyperconverged appliances. You can either use existing servers or buy pre-configured servers. Appliances can have hidden costs. Repaying software for hardware refreshes is not an option. Most storage solutions, including hyperconverged ones, can only manage policies at the volume, cluster, or LUN level. Maxta allows you to run multiple applications on the same cluster with no performance or availability loss. Appliance-based hyperconverged solutions allow you to repurchase your software license whenever you refresh hardware. You can also add storage capacity by simply adding additional appliances. Maxta software is yours forever. You can also add additional drives to the servers to increase storage capacity.
