PROBLEM

Before introducing StarWind HyperConverged Appliance (HCA) into its IT infrastructure, Sun Peaks Resort had Hyper-V clusters managed
with Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct (S2D). The issue the company was trying to solve was creating a server cluster without using a dedicated storage device. S2D did not seem to be reliable, and it needed a data center license which Sun Peaks Resort did not have at the time. So, the company tried to find an easy-to-manage and cost-effective product providing desired flexibility and high availability (HA).

SOLUTION

Choosing StarWind HCA, Sun Peaks Resort received a turnkey solution managed handy and top-notch StarWind Support. With StarWind HCA, the company created a cluster of servers to run its applications with the option to fail over to another node. The StarWind product has
a built-in data center license and has given Sun Peaks Resort a lot more flexibility to spin up VMs as needed. All top priority issues were resolved as the company went all-flash, got a single-pane-of-glass management and monitoring web UI, and converted a VMware virtual HD to a Hyper-V VHD that worked flawlessly. In the future, Sun Peaks Resort plans to manage all its clusters with StarWind.
