Sutton Group of Companies improves its logistics operations by creating a hyperconverged IT infrastructure around StarWind HCI Appliance (HCA)

CHALLENGE

Before deploying StarWind HCI Appliance (HCA), Sutton Group of Companies relied on a traditional SAN running Hyper-V, which was complex and occupied a significant amount of physical space due to the multiple servers. Despite this complexity, Sutton was not achieving the desired level of performance. The physical footprint and the intricate nature of the SAN made it difficult to manage, leading to increased operational overhead and inefficiencies.

The company sought a more streamlined, high– performing solution that could meet its needs without the complexity and space consumption of its existing SAN setup.

We moved to all-flash storage, and the hyperconverged nature of StarWind HCI Appliance meant that there was a smaller physical footprint with respect to the number of servers required.
