NativeSAN vs VSA

[vikeswin1]

In the past people have confused or attempted to compare NativeSAN with VSA solutions.

I have seen lately Starwind seems to be embracing VSA more.

I wanted to hear the Starwind view point currently on VSA, do we see a future product where both will co-exist on the same box?

Thanks!

VSA is expected to run inside guest virtual machine (with all the performance and management drawbacks). We don't do it under Hyper-V as we're
native Windows application. Under ESXi and XenServer we'll run inside guest VM.
