Western Idaho Cabinets saves approximately $100,000 on its IT operational expenses by creating a hyperconverged infrastructure around
 StarWind HCI Appliance (HCA)

CHALLENGE

Before deploying StarWind HCI Appliance (HCA), Western Idaho Cabinets relied on a single Hyper-V server for its IT infrastructure. However, persistent issues with downtime and maintenance significantly impacted production, leading to substantial losses. The existing infrastructure lacked the resilience and flexibility required to address these challenges efficiently.

The company required a hyperconverged platform to ensure uninterrupted production.

StarWind HCI Appliance (HCA) was an obvious choice with its excellent monitoring,
installation/setup services, and not needing a dedicated SAN to operate on.

SOLUTION

By implementing StarWind HCI Appliance, Western Idaho Cabinets gained the ability to conduct maintenance on servers individually without disrupting overall operations. Moreover, automatic failover mechanisms ensured seamless production continuity in case of any issues, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.

Considering the significant financial impact of downtime, the company estimates annual savings of approximately $100,000 by minimizing production disruptions through the StarWind HCI Appliance implementation. Impressed with the performance and reliability of the StarWind solution, Western Idaho Cabinets plans to utilize StarWind for all future server purchases.
