CHALLENGE
Before implementing StarWind HCI Appliance (HCA), Children’s Institute relied on standalone Hyper-V servers to meet its virtualization needs. The organization faced the lack of a fast and efficient method to restore Virtual Machines (VMs) from backup in the event of a Hyper-V host failure. This posed a two-fold problem: first, the restoration process was time-consuming, causing service interruptions, and second, it was prone to errors, potentially resulting in data loss. This situation was far from ideal and required a robust solution to ensure the uninterrupted delivery of its essential services.
SOLUTION
The implementation of StarWind HCI Appliance marked a transformative moment for Children’s Institute’s IT infrastructure. StarWind introduced an additional layer of protection and peace of mind. Currently, the infrastructure operates smoothly, with all critical VMs successfully migrated to StarWind HCI Appliance. The flexibility to live migrate VMs between nodes without causing service disruptions has made maintenance tasks significantly more manageable.
StarWind Support Team responded promptly and professionally to the organization’s requests. Overall, StarWind has delivered an IT environment that meets all the requirements while ensuring uninterrupted service delivery.
