The Psychiatric Hospital in Opava ensures continuous access to its critical information systems by moving to hyperconvergence with StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN)

CHALLENGE

Before StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) deployment, the Psychiatric Hospital in Opava was grappling with limited resources in its IT infrastructure, comprising only three physical servers and storage. Operating on VMware hypervisor, it initially opted for an HPE ProLiant server-based hyperconverged infrastructure with internal disk capacity. However, this setup posed challenges in terms of scalability, data availability, and security, especially for its critical information systems.

Turning to its partner’s recommendation, the hospital embraced StarWind VSAN over the initially chosen HPE StoreVirtual VSA solution.

I really appreciate the support and supervision of the manufacture during the implementation.
