CHALLENGE

Before deploying StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN), the client company of AiT Services relied on multiple end-of-life (EOL) physical servers governed by Microsoft Hyper-V. The lack of virtualization limited scalability and efficiency, while maintaining aging hardware became increasingly costly and unreliable.

The client tested VMware but found it overly complex and not user-friendly for its needs. Additionally, cost considerations made finding a budget-friendly yet effective solution a priority. AiT Services needed a solution to ensure redundancy and modernize the client’s IT infrastructure.

StarWind’s simple UI is as easy as pie and cost is another factor that’s attractive about it. StarWind VSAN, hands down, does what it says on the box!

SOLUTION

AiT Services chose StarWind VSAN because it provided a cost-effective, user-friendly solution with true redundancy. By deploying two StarWind VSAN hosts, AiT Services ensured that the client’s IT infrastructure was fully redundant and resilient. The simple and intuitive StarWind UI made monitoring and management straightforward, addressing the client’s concerns about complexity.

The solution resolved the client’s issues efficiently and at a better cost compared to alternatives. AiT Services also plans to leverage StarWind VSAN for off-site replication to further enhance the client’s data protection and disaster recovery capabilities.
