@RojoLoco said in Microsoft S2D vs StarWind VSAN: See what clients say about true hyperconvergence: @DustinB3403 how would their sales drones bug you if they just put the info here???? They already have my information and they actually don't nag me. What does irk me is that every time I do want to read one of these I have to register or login to see the information.

@scottalanmiller Right and they leap at that without a full picture, that's all I was admittedly trying to say.

@obsolesce said in Linux-based StarWind VSAN: hardware-agnostic, minimalistic, and FREE SDS: @travisdh1 said in Linux-based StarWind VSAN: hardware-agnostic, minimalistic, and FREE SDS: @obsolesce said in Linux-based StarWind VSAN: hardware-agnostic, minimalistic, and FREE SDS: Is this tied together with VMWare? I thought this was going to be usable on Fedora, for example. If the Starwind software is running on Linux, the hypervisor shouldn't matter. You'll be able to mount the share Starwind it's exporting on XenServer or KVM just as well, but well all the experts just in case. @KOOLER @Oksana I'm asking because Linux and SW vSAN are worded everywhere as if it's 100% tied to VMWare, with no other use case. I can't imagine that being the case, but am asking to make sure... perhaps it's worded like that because it's written by a VMWare Architect trying to boast and sell VMWare. Just wondering, because I was under the impression you can use it how you want, not just with VMWare. I agree with you, seems like bad marketing. I’ll be interestes in using it with KVM, for example. I thing it will just export iSCSI.

@olivier Thanks for the feedback. Ok... so I see that @julien-f just pushed out new versions of xo-server and xo-web. Anyone care to elaborate on how we could properly script this so that a week from now you could pull the source from this particular point in time?

There should be no reason I have to ask, but this supports SSL, correct? Do you have instructions on how we could use this to use Let Encrypt to secure this?

Also XenServer (and soon to be XCP-ng) have a vSAN type of approach as well. I'd ask @olivier to explain how it all works though.
