huh, cool to know there are several versions.
Sounds like another vendor I can think of

They used to focus quite a lot of being an iSCSI replacement for Windows so that Windows could be turned into a very viable enterprise class SAN device. They still make the software but people think of SANs so differently today that they often automatically associate this with virtualization. But Starwind used to just make enterprise SAN server software for Windows. So that approach is a remnant of that. It's not actually associated with virtualization at all. If you want to just build a SAN on Windows, this is how you do it.

After Kooler post.. I feel like what I know about vSAN is just a tip of an iceberg.

I have a strong feeling if you have to know a lot to make complex things work - user interface is actually broken. You don't know exactly (most people don't...) how internal combustion engine works but you drive you car every day. Storage should be no different. IMHO.

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

I received this error message. Should I be concerned? This occured during installing SGI-S agent

This is SMI-S provider installer. It's needed only if you plan to control StarWind from Microsoft SCVMM. I don't think you want it so simply uncheck "SMI-S" option in installation wizard options.
I'll file a bug as installer has to run on a GUI-less version as well. Thanks for reporting

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
