Zikol ensures uninterrupted access to its critical construction data across sites by deploying a high-availability cluster with StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN)

CHALLENGE

Before deploying StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN), Zikol operated a basic IT environment built on workgroup computers. The infrastructure used Microsoft Hyper-V as the hypervisor, but storage was not designed for high availability (HA) or easy scaling. Each host depended on local storage, which limited flexibility and increased operational risk. There was no shared storage layer that could protect virtual machines from hardware failure. Management tasks required manual effort, and expansion options were limited.

The IT team needed a solution that could improve reliability without adding complexity or high costs. In addition, Zikol needed access to professional technical support, available at any time, to ensure continuous operation and fast problem resolution if issues occurred.

StarWind VSAN works very stably. I’ll recommend this solution and product to other IT specialists and beginners. The premium support feature is amazing. 24/7. The Best.

Zikol has chosen StarWind VSAN because it provides a reliable shared storage layer using existing hardware. The solution synchronized storage between hosts and ensured HA for virtual machines. The resulting infrastructure became more resilient and easier to manage. System performance met operational requirements, and day-to-day operations became more predictable.

StarWind VSAN proved to be very stable in production. ProActive Premium Support delivered fast and accurate assistance whenever needed, which increased confidence in the platform. The final setup fully satisfied Zikol’s requirements and improved overall infrastructure reliability.
