StarWind can work with VMware or Hyper-V the setup is just a bit different.AetherStore isn't certified (Also, I"m not even sure if it speaks a supported protocol) and the performance would be hilariously bad. Take a look at StarWind vSAN or AetherStore. Is there a solution for doing a hyper-converged setup within a budget - but sticking to commercial products? I also don't have the budget for vmware VSAN. In Hyper-V with clustering I can use the Windows Storage Spaces to do the software RAID, but I don't want to go down the route of Hyper-V unless I have to. They have no RAID capabilities - So would simply present the disks in this enclosure to the host system - no RAID protection. My question though is - The SAS JBOD I am looking at are simply JBOD's. It's very unlikely we will ever need more than 2 hosts, so a dual expander) JBOD would be perfect for this job, using SAS disks of course. This means only buying a JBOD enclosure and a HBA for each of the hosts. I would therefore like to go with a shared SAS array. you'd ideally need 10Gbps infrastructure, a reasonable quality SAN for the storage, then there is all the of the administration on top of it. I have looked into iSCSI and Fibre Channel, but without going with a non-commercial product such as FreeNAS then the cost is prohibitive - e.g. I would like to go with an upgrade with shared storage. This has worked great so far, but it's not expandable and doesn't give a particularly high level of availability.
We have a separate non virtualised system running Veeam for backup and replication between the ESXi hosts. They have local disks to them and been working great for several years. I currently manage 2 vmware ESXi hosts in our office.
