When looking at the solutions from other vendors it was all tied into them, their service and support packages, and if anything went wrong, we would have to wait for them, there would be nothing we could really do. In addition their costs were so much, we wouldn’t be able to go for a hugely redundant solution, and we would be relying on the expensive support to sort our issues if any arose. 100% satisfied with the solution, the system stability is 100%, we have not yet had a second of downtime since we installed our first Open-E Server in April 2020, and since we upgraded this to be a Metro High Availability Failover cluster it would need multiple failures across multiple hosts to be in risk of being corrupted. I love how we can move the storage from one node to another, and reboot the hosts if needed, it’s really slick.
