StarWind made the most sense in terms of lower cost and not having to do a big hardware repurchase.

CHALLENGE
Before StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) deployment, Mr. T Carting relied on standalone VM hosts using Hyper-V as the hypervisor. The pressing issue was the lack of high availability (HA), and the existing infrastructure couldn’t meet the company’s needs without incurring a substantial upfront cost. Mr. T Carting opted for StarWind VSAN among other storage solutions due to its cost-effectiveness.
SOLUTION
StarWind VSAN addressed the company’s challenge by creating a highly available cluster using its existing hardware. This transformed the infrastructure into a 2-node failover cluster, ensuring the much-needed redundancy. The deployment was smooth, and the company did not encounter any installation issues.
The resulting infrastructure satisfies all the requirements, offering a robust and reliable 2-node failover cluster. Mr. T Carting no longer faces the risk of downtime due to hardware failures, enhancing the overall stability of its IT environment.
