GE HealthCare’s client ensures continuous access to critical medical data by eliminating a single point of failure (SPOF) with StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN)

CHALLENGE

Before implementing StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN), the IT infrastructure of GE HealthCare’s client company relied on a VMware farm with a shared physical SAN. The critical issue was the single point of failure (SPOF) posed by the physical SAN, making the system vulnerable to potential downtimes and interruptions. The existing infrastructure lacked the flexibility and redundancy needed to ensure high availability (HA).

Finding a solution that offered functionality, flexibility, and robust support within budget constraints became imperative.

As a Service Provider, we will propose StarWind where our customers are demanding a full HA solution while they want to keep the budget under control.
