CHALLENGE
Challenge Before StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) deployment, Mine Canadian Malartic s IT infrastructure, supporting 900 user computers and 100 virtual servers crucial for production, faced significant hurdles. With 8 different cold storage systems, 2 SAN units, and VMware ESXi on top, the existing setup lacked real time synchronization with disaster recovery sites and suffered from a single point of failure (SPOF). Additionally, updates and upgrades couldn t be performed without disrupting production, posing operational risks.
Seeking an affordable alternative to VMware s pricey options, the company turned to StarWind VSAN for its affordability and promising features.
SOLUTION
By implementing StarWind VSAN, Mine Canadian Malartic achieved dual site real time synchronization, eliminating SPOF and providing data integrity. The dual site synchronization ensures continuous data availability and disaster recovery readiness. Moreover, the solution enabled seamless updates and upgrades, allowing for uninterrupted production operations.
Encouraged by the success of the initial deployment, Mine Canadian Malartic plans to extend StarWind s implementation to upgrade two additional sites. The company is committed to leveraging StarWind s reliability and performance to enhance its overall IT infrastructure
