CHALLENGE

Before StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) deployment, Intellegens Inc. had an IT infrastructure with several servers and SAN/NAS setup in both Hyper V and VMware clusters. The existing IT infrastructure lacked centralized enterprise storage, which resulted in performance hits, high latency, and unnecessary complexity on the path of infrastructure growth.

As an SMB, the cost of enterprise storage solutions was prohibitive, making it challenging to resolve these issues. So, Intellegens Inc. set its sight on virtualization.

The resulting infrastructure with a StarWind product has exceeded our expectations in terms of performance and reliability.

SOLUTION

Intellegens Inc. opted for StarWind VSAN, which provided a new pathway for upgrading its aging infrastructure without heavy investment in enterprise hardware. By leveraging StarWind, the company avoided the significant costs associated with additional hardware, licensing fees, and specialized components like RDMA cards, SSD storage, and NVMe flash. This allowed the company to modernize its infrastructure within its budget constraints.

The resulting infrastructure has surpassed Intellegens Inc.s expectations in terms of performance and reliability. StarWind VSAN has provided a centralized storage solution that effectively addresses its previous challenges while remaining cost effective for its SMB scale.
