We have already had comments from one of our partners that
they haven’t seen a speed like this within a school environment.
The performance provided by StarWind HCA is excellent.

PROBLEM
Before implementing StarWind HCI Appliance (HCA), Amethyst Academies Trust had an aging 4-node Hyper-V HPE solution that could not keep up with the demand that the organization’s network was requiring. Due to the lack of resources, mainly down to age, such resources as storage, memory, and CPU performance were hindering everyday tasks such as security information management (SIMs) practices and deployment. So, the organization decided to replace completely its end-of-life hardware with a top-of-the-line hyperconverged platform.
SOLUTION
Amethyst Academies Trust has chosen StarWind HCA to move to hyperconvergence and obtain a high-performance IT infrastructure with no restrictions on flexibility and scalability. One of the organization’s schools currently has a StarWind solution in place, so Amethyst Academies Trust added them to the quoting process while doing its due diligence. The price, expertise and care shown by StarWind made the proposed solution affordable for the school. For now, everything runs like clockwork, and there are no problems with SIMs practices or deployment processes. If the organization’s trust and requirements for server infrastructure replacement grow, Amethyst Academies Trust will certainly be involving StarWind in that process.
