CHALLENGE

Before implementing StarWind HCI Appliance (HCA), Cork Supply USA had physical servers with a couple of virtual servers running non-critical roles hosted from a standalone Hyper-V host. Since physical servers were end-of-life, the company was looking for an upgraded enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution that would provide simplicity and flexibility in management and bring redundancy to data processing.

CorkSupply USA sought to free up space from the bulk of hardware resources as well. On top of that, the new solution for the IT environment was to be cost-effective.

StarWind offered a solution that required little complexity and an attractive price point.
