CoolNiao ensures zero downtime and seamless business operations for its clients by deploying a high-availability cluster with StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN)

CHALLENGE

Before deploying StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN), CoolNiao relied on servers and hardware storage running on VMware vSphere. While the setup provided a stable environment, it quickly became evident that the infrastructure lacked the flexibility to meet growing requirements. Specifically, CoolNiao needed to maintain more than three copies of virtual machine (VM) data to ensure maximum redundancy and safeguard missioncritical workloads. The existing hardware-based storage solutions could not accommodate this demand without introducing excessive costs and complexity.

With StarWind VSAN, we replaced our old hardware storage.

SOLUTION

CoolNiao chose StarWind VSAN to replace its legacy hardware storage. By integrating seamlessly into its VMware vSphere environment, StarWind enabled the company to maintain more than three copies of VM data without the burden of additional hardware investments. The solution delivered the required redundancy, high availability, and scalability in a cost-efficient way. As a result, CoolNiao significantly improved the resilience and performance of its IT infrastructure, ensuring uninterrupted access to business-critical workloads. Encouraged by the success, the company extended StarWind VSAN to another site, solidifying its disaster recovery strategy and reinforcing its commitment to delivering zero downtime and reliable services to its clients.
