RAM Company ensures continuous uptime of its critical production systems by creating a fault-tolerant IT environment around StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN)

CHALLENGE

Before deploying StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN), RAM Company‘s IT infrastructure comprised three independent Hyper-V hosts without shared storage. This setup lacked seamless failover capabilities and hindered maintenance during business hours. This led to prolonged downtimes and inefficient resource management, impacting productivity. Seeking a solution, RAM Company evaluated Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) but found it unsuitable for its 2-node setup.

Working with a vendor like StarWind that is proactive and gives you direct access to knowledgeable support is a breath of fresh air. Since implementing VSAN we’ve had zero downtime and met all the requirements for the project.
