No, Microsoft has a very broken vision of storage. So instead of the giving people ability to cluster hypervisor hosts using cheap storage and 10 GbE (something VMware eventually does
with VSAN) Micorosft insists people should buy expensive SAS disks, controllers, external SAS JBODs and run Clustered Storage Spaces. We don't want to repalce general purpose 10 GbE fabric with a switched 6 Gbps SAS fabric! So Microsoft is on the wrong way... And that's the place where comes StarWind Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.

You may be right, sigh...maybe another clairvoyant vGuru who went to VMworld will bless us with additional information...
VMware is too expensive for SMBs despite being so rock-solid. Hyper-V has this built in already AFAIK.
