CHALLENGE

Before StarWind Virtual SAN (vSAN) deployment, the existing IT infrastructure of Pekao Financial Services lacked a storage replication system, leaving it vulnerable to data loss and system downtime. Moreover, the organization was heavily invested in VMware vSphere as its preferred hypervisor, and this presented a unique set of challenges.

The cost of traditional storage solutions and the inability to easily integrate HA storage within its existing infrastructure were causing substantial operational inefficiencies and budgetary strain.

Pekao Financial Services found its answer in StarWind vSAN, a VMware-independent software solution designed to build HA storage.

SOLUTION

StarWind vSAN seamlessly integrated with the existing VMware vSphere environment, allowing Pekao Financial Services to utilize its old hardware effectively. This not only saved the company substantial capital but also ensured a smooth transition to an HA storage solution. The resulting IT infrastructure addressed the immediate challenges and paved the way for a more efficient and cost-effective data management strategy.

In the future, the company intends to replace its SAN storage systems with StarWind HCI Appliance, further streamlining its infrastructure.
