St Hilda’s College ensures uninterrupted academic activities by creating a hyperconverged environment with StarWind HCI Appliance (HCA)

CHALLENGE

Before deploying StarWind HCI Appliance (HCA), St Hilda’s College faced a daunting IT infrastructure challenge with its existing system comprising Huawei and HP hardware, coupled with VMware as the hypervisor. The old infrastructure was bespoke, complex, and no longer supported by vendors. This rendered routine maintenance and troubleshooting a daunting task, hindering the seamless operation of the academic institution. 

In search of a remedy, the IT team explored various solutions and ultimately opted for StarWind HCI Appliance.

StarWind is easy to install, out of the box. It was set up remotely during the pandemic.
