Why Syneto built a different kind of HCI — one without forced license bundles, distributed-storage tax, or vendor lock-in.

Contrasts the distributed-filesystem HCI school (vSAN, Nutanix) with the Syneto single-filesystem-per-cluster approach. Honest tradeoff matrix, performance math, when to pick each model.
Most HCI products (vSAN, Nutanix) use a distributed filesystem that stripes data across all nodes. Syneto chose a single-filesystem-per-cluster model with explicit replication groups. The tradeoff is meaningful.
50–500 VMs across 1-4 sites. Distributed-FS overhead doesn't pay back at that scale. Single-FS is right-sized.
A single HYPER Edge G2 with SyFS is a complete IT site. Distributed-FS HCI requires 3+ nodes minimum.
SyFS makes Recovery Points and replication native primitives, not bolt-ons. Distributed FS treats them as separate engines.
Hypervisor + storage + protection + DR are one SynetoOS license. No per-VM or per-TB add-on SKUs.
For customers in the 8-20 node sweet spot with mixed workloads, both schools work. Pick the one whose operational model fits your team — not the marketing slide.
