Medved Holding Group Success Story 
Creating a High Availability shared storage in the Hyper-V virtual environment
“First minutes of running this software revealed one of its major benefits: it installed not inside virtual machine but on top of Hyper-V itself in “parent partition” where primary Windows operating environment executes. This meant we didn’t need to buy additional servers and extra Windows licenses and could create our shared storage using the existing resources.”
- Vyatcheslav Potekin, IT Director, Medved Holding Group
