Split Digital LLC reinforces its competitive edge in a rapidly evolving market by creating a hyperconverged environment around StarWind Virtual SAN (vSAN)

CHALLENGE

Before implementing StarWind Virtual SAN (vSAN), Split Digital LLC operated a server setup with onboard storage and Linux storage servers featuring passive failover. While this arrangement provided data redundancy, it fell short in terms of speed and scalability to accommodate the company’s rapid growth.

Additionally, managing the passive clustering on the storage server led to frequent split-brain scenarios, creating risk and demanding substantial time and effort. The traditional solution of adopting a full-blown SAN was not viable due to its high cost and technical complexity.

We now have hyperconverged infrastructure that exactly fits what we wanted for extreme reliability and extreme uptime. This is perfect for a small company like us, as we can be much more nimble and responsive to our customers.
