Vipa Group ensures uninterrupted operations critical for managing the intricate logistics of its global supply chain by creating a highly available IT infrastructure around StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN)

CHALLENGE

Before StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) deployment, Vipa Group operated on a standalone ESXi host, which lacked a high availability (HA). In the event of a hardware failure, the entire system was vulnerable to downtime, jeopardizing operations and productivity.

Despite exploring alternatives like Nutanix, StarWind stood out for its affordability and exceptional pre-sales support.

StarWind VSAN allowed for increasing the redundancy and resiliency of the company at a logical cost.
