VIP Technology Solutions Group gains uninterrupted business operations by building a hyperconverged IT infrastructure with StarWind HCI Appliance (HCA)

CHALLENGE

Before implementing StarWind HCI Appliance (HCA), VIP Technology Solutions Group operated with individual, non-clustered servers running Microsoft Hyper-V. This setup lacked failover clustering, meaning any server downtime would bring all virtual machines (VMs) offline, risking operational interruptions.

The company sought an affordable solution that could provide fault tolerance and eliminate the need for separate storage networks. Additionally, proactive monitoring and support were essential for ensuring system reliability and prompt issue resolution.

With StarWind, we now have a multi-node cluster with failover ability without having to manage a separate storage network/SAN.

VIP Technology Solutions Group selected StarWind HCI Appliance because it provided a robust, failover-ready, hyperconverged infrastructure with proactive support at an affordable price. StarWind HCI Appliance enabled them to create a multi- node cluster with built-in failover capabilities without requiring a separate SAN or storage network.

The initial StarWind setup was approximately 35% more cost-effective than other HP solutions considered. Over eight months, StarWind Support Team identified and resolved two issues without causing any significant downtime or data loss, delivering a reliable and cost-effective infrastructure solution.
