CHALLENGE
Before deploying StarWind HCI Appliance (HCA), Selux operated its IT infrastructure on several individual physical servers running Hyper-V. This setup required an increasing number of servers to handle system upgrades, which led to higher maintenance costs and more complexity. Each physical server represented a single point of failure, putting critical operations at risk in case of hardware issues.
The company needed a cost-effective, reliable, and easy-to-manage solution that would reduce hardware dependency and eliminate downtime risks. However, as a smaller company, Selux had to carefully consider its budget, making expensive enterprise solutions out of reach.
StarWind HCI Appliance is a fantastic solution that simply works. It was easy to deploy, pricing was below the competition, we eliminated single points of failure, and have redundancies in place now.Systems Engineer
SOLUTION
Selux chose StarWind HCI Appliance because it allowed the company to gain full redundancy with just two nodes. The preconfigured, ready-to-deploy hosts made implementation fast and easy, removing the need for complex setup or additional hardware. Thanks to the StarWind solution, the system remains operational even if one host fails. Virtual machines could now be created quickly without purchasing new physical servers, making the environment more flexible and scalable. StarWind HCI Appliance met all performance, reliability, and cost expectations while saving over $10,000 annually. Selux plans to continue with StarWind for future infrastructure refreshes.
