CHALLENGE
Before StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) deployment, Network Pro Wisconsin Inc. relied on VMwareESXi hosts connected to an external drive array. However, this drive array was slow and obsolete, hindering the company‘s ability to deliver high– performance services to its clients. The outdated infrastructure led to frequent performance bottlenecks, increased maintenance costs, and a general lack of reliability.
Replacing the external drive array with another similar setup would not address the core performance problems. The company needed an efficient and reliable solution to revamp its IT infrastructure.
StarWind let us use high- performance internally attached SSD drives on our servers – performance was greatly improved over our old solution. The next time we need a new bullet-proof data center, we’ll use StarWind to build it.
Mark Landvatter, Vice President
