CHALLENGE

Before StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) deployment, Telent Technology Services Ltd had standalone CCTV application and database servers at both the primary and backup sites, operating without data replication or seamless failover. This configuration required manual changes on both servers, leading to mismatched configurations and time-intensive maintenance.

The company needed a centralized management system for its CCTV configuration database and a reliable failover solution to ensure uninterrupted application performance. However, implementing such a solution was hindered by the complexity and high hardware costs of alternative options.

StarWind VSAN provided a cost-effective duplication of data solution that works seamlessly over multi-site locations without additional hardware costs.

SOLUTION

Telent Technology Services Ltd chose StarWind VSAN because it enabled data duplication across multi-site locations, eliminated the need for specialized hardware, and integrated smoothly with Microsoft Failover Clustering. This allowed the company to centralize its CCTV configuration management while ensuring seamless failover between primary and backup servers without manual intervention.

The VSAN-powered infrastructure streamlined the configuration process, resolving previous mismatched settings and significantly improving system reliability. Furthermore, StarWind’s scalability provided Telent Technology Services Ltd with the flexibility to expand its disk capacity in the future, fully meeting its current and evolving needs.
