Moving SQL Server deployment from private cloud to Azure is very expensive, because it usually requires at least two Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise licenses. StarWind offers a solution called StarWind Virtual SAN, which “mirrors” storage inside VMs and allows you to achieve Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise functionality utilizing SQL Server Standard license. What you get is protection for mission-critical data, a virtual shared storage in Azure, for a mere fraction of the usual clustered SQL deployment cost. In addition, StarWind Virtual SAN brings in a far more flexible configuration than it’s possible to have in a SAN-based cluster environment. It’s basically the exact deployment you need, but $60,000 cheaper!
