ITCS S.A. saves over $35,000 on its IT operational expenses by creating a hyperconverged infrastructure around StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN)

CHALLENGE

Before deploying StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN), ITCS S.A. grappled with an outdated IT infrastructure. Its setup included three VMware hypervisors with a Microsoft Windows Cluster, coupled with aging HPE MSA Storage hardware.

The existing infrastructure posed several challenges. Firstly, the company needed to economize on hardware costs while ensuring efficient management. Additionally, the lack of centralized storage hindered scalability and maintenance tasks.

With StarWind VSAN we can perform hyperconvergence without storage between the 3 nodes that we have available. We can also perform maintenance tasks more progressively on the nodes in production.

SOLUTION

ITCS S.A. opted for StarWind VSAN because it facilitated hyperconvergence across the three nodes, eliminating the need for separate storage hardware. This streamlined maintenance tasks and allowed for gradual updates without disrupting production. Post–implementation, ITCS S.A. experiences significantly reduced administrative overhead. The ability to seamlessly modify disk sizes and virtual machines translates into enhanced agility and responsiveness to client needs.

In less than a year, the company estimates savings of $35,000, underscoring the cost–effectiveness of the StarWind solution. Looking ahead, ITCS S.A. envisions leveraging StarWind for surveillance and video systems, further maximizing their investment.
