Vipa Group ensures logistics continuity of its global supply chain by creating a highly available IT infrastructure around StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN)

CHALLENGE

Before StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) deployment, Vipa Group operated on a standalone ESXi host, which lacked a high availability (HA). In the event of a hardware failure, the entire system was vulnerable to downtime, jeopardizing operations and productivity.

Despite exploring alternatives like Nutanix, StarWind stood out for its affordability and exceptional pre-sales support.

StarWind VSAN allowed for increasing the redundancy and resiliency of the company at a logical cost.

While the system satisfies most requirements, Vipa Group is planning to further enhance its infrastructure by upgrading to Fiber Channel with NVMe, ensuring even greater performance and reliability. With StarWind VSAN, Vipa Group continues to thrive in a competitive market, empowered by a robust and reliable IT infrastructure.
