CHALLENGE

Before deploying StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN), FinZey Finance’s IT infrastructure consisted of HPE ProLiant servers running VMware without a dedicated SAN. The absence of a SAN meant that the internal storage of the three hosts was isolated, making it difficult to achieve high availability (HA) and failover capabilities. However, investing in a traditional SAN was not an option due to cost concerns.

The company needed a solution to aggregate the internal storage of its three hosts into a shared storage system, ensuring redundancy and business continuity.

StarWind VSAN gave me a lot of options for HA and failover which I couldn’t have achieved with my existing infrastructure.

SOLUTION

After testing StarWind VSAN in a trial, FinZey Finance found it to be highly efficient with strong performance. StarWind VSAN enabled the company to build a fault-tolerant HA cluster without the need for expensive. physical SAN devices. StarWind VSAN seamlessly combined the internal storage of the company’s servers into a unified virtual shared storage platform, delivering cost-effective failover features and enhanced performance.

With the added benefit of StarWind ProActive Premium Support, FinZey Finance now enjoys a robust IT infrastructure that supports continuous operations and fuels future business growth.
