BLDD Architects cuts IT operational costs and increases productivity by creating a high-performing IT infrastructure with StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN)

CHALLENGE

Before deploying StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN), BLDD Architects was struggling to maintain an aging EMC SAN infrastructure. The costs associated with the upkeep of their legacy SAN system were spiraling out of control, driven by the need for frequent repairs, costly upgrades, and expensive vendor support. These maintenances also caused significant operational inefficiencies.

BLDD Architects required a storage solution that could deliver high performance without the high costs and complexity associated with their existing SAN environment.

I’m very satisfied with StarWind. Better performance, much simpler to maintain. Better price-to- performance ratio.
