CHALENGE

Before deploying StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN), Dobson Mitchell Allport faced a critical challenge with its IT infrastructure. The company relied solely on a single physical SAN with 1GB interconnects to support its Hyper-V failover cluster. This setup posed a significant risk due to a single point of failure and performance limitations. Upgrading or enhancing performance while maintaining reliability was a daunting task.

The company required a shared storage solution to replace its single physical SAN and achieve high availability.

StarWind VSAN has made our infrastructure more performant, reduced complexity, and significantly increased reliability. StarWind VSAN has met all requirements and expectations.
