U Bank achieves swift adaptability to business growth by seamlessly scaling storage capacity thanks to StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN)
CHALLENGE
Before StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) deployment, U Bank faced scalability issues with its existing VMware infrastructure, a mix of virtual and physical servers. The SAN storage was not easily expandable, hindering the company’s ability to accommodate rapid growth. Adding more storage capacity was cumbersome and expensive, threatening the efficiency of the IT infrastructure.
After evaluating various storage solutions, U Bank chose StarWind for its remarkable features. StarWind offered a scalable, affordable, and high- performance software-defined storage (SDS) solution.
Our ROI on our StarWind investment was 100%. This means that we saved twice the amount of money that we spent on the software.

The affordability of StarWind, coupled with its user- friendly interface, minimized the need for extensive training for IT staff.
U Bank’s successful integration of StarWind VSAN has not only resolved its scalability issues but also positioned it for future growth with a cost-effective and efficient IT infrastructure.
