I hope that everyone has fun today at the Quiditch match.

How long, I wonder, until hosting plan details are available. Ridiculously expensive, I am sure, but interesting for sure.

That looks unpleasant.

It's all about the text files

No question that the A+ has its problems (maybe nothing else.) So more constructive might be... what should the A+ have on it?

That really changes your perception of Google, doesn't it!

I think that you got a duplicate there.

AAACeption!

Looking good.

@coliver if someone was to theoretically to plug in a second DHCP, what would theoretically happen and how likely would someone get caught? wink wink say no more.

Thank you for all the questions, we've had a great time (and we hope you did as well!). Also, I will abuse the situation to advertise @ABykovskyi and his webinar about the Linux VSA that will be happening tomorrow: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/dedicated-live-demo-session

Abuse all you want!

That's what she..... you know the rest.

Definitely, thanks everyone! Very informative.

What about Storage Spaces Direct (S2D)? Can you talk about how Starwind is competing with that and what the differentiating factors are? Maybe when we would choose one or the other if we are on Hyper-V?

S2D is designed for large scale environments that are more focused on storage efficiency and less focused on performance. 4-nodes is the minimum recommended production scenario. 67%+ storage efficiency is achieved only on more than 6-nodes AFAIR. If your primary goal is scale - choose S2D. If your primary goal is resiliency and performance - StarWind.

That makes sense, thanks.

I have 2 identical physical hosts that my company is allowing me to set up as a proof of concept for Starwind. As we are a Hyper-V shop, I am looking for a good startup guide for this; it appears this is where I would begin: https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-virtual-san-hyper-converged-2-nodes-scenario-2-nodes-with-hyper-v-cluster ??

Are you going to do a full write up on the experience on ML?
