CC Young & Co Ltd achieves 20% annual business growth by ensuring a fast, reliable, and scalable IT infrastructure thanks to StarWind HCI Appliance (HCA)

CHALLENGE

Before implementing StarWind HCI Appliance (HCA), CC Young & Co Ltd relied on an aging Syneto/HP-based infrastructure running VMware.

Over time, the system could no longer keep up with the company’s rapid growth. They had exhausted all available compute resources, storage performance had degraded, and system speed was no longer acceptable. Frequent server slowdowns and crashes disrupted daily operations, causing user frustration and productivity loss. The existing environment had reached its limits, with no cost-effective or scalable upgrade path in sight.

CC Young & Co needed a solution that could deliver both immediate performance improvements and support long-term growth, without blowing the budget.

Since we have implemented StarWind, all of the staff are delighted at how quickly applications open and that the system is more reliable than before. So far, I would rate the support 10/10 and believe that they are the best in the business.

SOLUTION

CC Young & Co chose StarWind HCI Appliance due to its scalability, budget-friendliness, and honest, con- sultative sales approach. The StarWind team helped tailor a 3-node HCI solution that offered both perfor- mance and room to grow, while even saving costs through smart configuration suggestions.

Post-deployment, the company saw an immediate transformation: applications loaded faster, system reliability improved, and infrastructure-related sup- port tickets dropped dramatically. The solution pro- vides node-level fault tolerance and exceeds current needs with compute and storage to spare. Staff satisfaction rose, and the infrastructure now supports the company’s 20% annual growth with confidence.
