Sawejko Enterprises increases its system uptime up to 99.99% by creating a 2-node high-availability (HA) cluster with StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN)

CHALLENGE

Before StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) deployment, Sawejko Enterprises had a lack of clustering for VMware and Hyper-V hosts. This absence jeopardized reliability, hindering the company from achieving the desired uptime of its virtualized environment. The major roadblock was the financial barrier to acquiring hardware-based shared storage. After considering various solutions, Sawejko Enterprises chose StarWind VSAN for its longevity, support availability, and reliability.

We now have a reliable, performant shared storage solution, which allows us to cluster VM server hosts. Primarily due to this, our uptime has improved from 99.9% to 99.99%.

SOLUTION

StarWind VSAN allowed Sawejko Enterprises to enable the clustering of VM server hosts, elevating uptime to 99.99%. The seamless integration and stability addressed the root issue of the old infrastructure, providing a solid foundation for the company’s virtualized environment.

The success of StarWind VSAN has prompted Sawejko Enterprises to expand further. Currently operating a two-node cluster, they are in the process of adding a third node. This expansion reflects the scalability and confidence in StarWind’s ability to support its growing needs.
