CHALLENGE

Before deploying StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN), SSTL Group faced a critical challenge in its IT infrastructure. Despite having implemented several IT infrastructures in governmental buildings, they encountered difficulty in creating a failover cluster on their servers due to limited hardware resources. This posed a significant obstacle as failover capability was essential for maintaining uninterrupted operations.

SSTL Group opted for StarWind VSAN, recommended by Bosch, the manufacturer.

We saved money as we were to buy additional servers to fulfill the project requirements, but with StarWind, everything is solved.

Abuu Maige, Company Representative

SOLUTION

StarWind VSAN‘s ability to mirror servers provided the much–needed failover environment without the need for additional hardware. This not only addressed SSTL Group‘s immediate challenge and resulted in substantial financial savings but also aligned with modern requirements where failover capability is indispensable. With StarWind VSAN in place, SSTL Group‘s IT infrastructure now operates smoothly, meeting all its requirements effectively.

SSTL Group acknowledges the necessity of failover in contemporary IT infrastructures and plans to continue utilizing StarWind for future projects to ensure seamless operations.
