Kaonix Solutions Limited ensures service continuity and cuts infrastructure costs significantly by modernizing legacy hardware with StarWind HCI Appliance (HCA)

CHALLENGE

Before deploying StarWind HCI Appliance (HCA), Kaonix Solutions Limited was grappling with an aging IT infrastructure based on a handful of standalone Hyper-V servers and numerous physical servers. Constrained by budget limitations, they had no access to clustering, high availability (HA), or resilience features. This meant any hardware failure required rebuilding servers from scratch or restoring from backups – a timeconsuming and inefficient process.

As the business grew, the absence of system redundancy became a major concern. With limited resources, the company needed a cost-effective yet robust solution that could modernize its setup and bring enterprise-grade reliability within reach.

StarWind HCI Appliance allowed us to increase resilience and redundancy and reduce the need for any downtime during patching. It was a fantastic solution, and only wish we had discovered it sooner.

SOLUTION

Kaonix Solutions Limited chose StarWind HCI Appliance because it allowed the company to virtualize physical servers and migrate its existing VMs, consolidating everything into a unified failover cluster. The result was a resilient HA environment that significantly improved uptime and simplified management.

Once purchased, implementation was smooth and fully backed by StarWind ProActive Premium Support. With StarWind HCI Appliance, Kaonix Solutions Limited reduced its physical server footprint and eliminated planned downtime during maintenance. Hosting costs dropped by approximately £500 per month, saving the company £6,000 annually. The new infrastructure not only met all its technical needs – it exceeded expectations.
