Network Pro Wisconsin Inc. achieves 24/7 business operations by building a high-performance and reliable IT infrastructure around StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN)

CHALLENGE

Before StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) deployment, Network Pro Wisconsin Inc. relied on VMware ESXi hosts connected to an external drive array. However, this drive array was slow and obsolete, hindering the company‘s ability to deliver high– performance services to its clients. The outdated infrastructure led to frequent performance bottlenecks, increased maintenance costs, and a general lack of reliability.

Replacing the external drive array with another similar setup would not address the core performance problems. The company needed an efficient and reliable solution to revamp its IT infrastructure.

StarWind let us use high- performance internally attached SSD drives on our servers – performance was greatly improved over our old solution. The next time we need a new bullet-proof data center, we’ll use StarWind to build it. 

Mark Landvatter, Vice President

SOLUTION

Network Pro Wisconsin Inc. chose StarWind VSAN for its ability to utilize high–performance, internally attached SSD drives within its servers. The deployment of StarWind VSAN transformed its IT infrastructure by eliminating the need for the sluggish external drive array. This shift resulted in a significant performance boost, as the internally attached SSDs offered faster data access and improved overall system responsiveness. StarWind ProActive Premium Support ensured that any potential issues were promptly addressed.

Considering VSAN’s reliability, the company plans to utilize StarWind for future data center upgrades.
