The USS Midway Museum saves $80K+ in hardware and software costs by creating a highly available storage infrastructure around StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN)
CHALLENGE
Before StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) deployment, the USS Midway Museum had a 4-node Hyper-V failover cluster with Windows Server 2012. The museum wanted to create shared storage using commodity hardware. At the same time, storage vendors charged exorbitant prices for outdated methods of SAN storage maintenance and imposed unprofitable support plans.
The USS Midway Museum needed to achieve high availability (HA) for its applications at a reasonable price.
