@coliver said in Reaching manhood - StarWind is included in Gartner Magic Quadrant!: How much money did you guys pay to get in there? And why? Being listed on Gartner is an active disincentive to any rational person.

@scottalanmiller said in What do you think of my hypothetical HCI: @tim_g said in What do you think of my hypothetical HCI: Why not just use two or three Hyper-V Server 2016 nodes and StarWind vSAN? That seems like a whole lot easier, cheaper, and way more effective. And you totally missed "massively safer." Better storage, and way fewer moving pieces to fail. Yeah that too of course! That was bundled into the "way more effective" bit.

I'm guessing heavy commission based sales. That's unfortunate. GroveMarketPlace is reselling StarWind we can get you pricing. Just email me [email protected] No MSRP without contacting someone means no business from me.

Is that different than hardware defined storage? It has all those issues, too.
