Domino Machine is a Canada- based manufacturer specializing in the production of blow-out preventers, stuffing boxes, and API products. The company provides critical components that ensure the safety and efficiency of various industrial operations.
Before StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) deployment, Domino Machine utilized direct server storage and NAS appliances. The company struggled with inadequate storage performance and high availability, essential for running data-intensive workloads. Its infrastructure’s limitations prevented seamless support for solutions like VMware vSAN, necessitating hardware upgrades and additional investments.
These constraints posed a critical risk to business continuity and efficiency, prompting Domino Machine to seek an alternative that would enhance performance and avoid vendor lock-in.
Our new 2-node StarWind VSAN cluster has met all our requirements for keeping our critical data stored in two places with constant synchronization.
