CHALLENGE
Before StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) deployment, American Data Technology, Inc. (ADTI) operated a mixed physical and virtual hosting environment, increasingly reliant on VMware to meet growing customer demands. However, as virtualization expanded, so did the pressure on storage. The company relied on local storage for each hypervisor, which quickly revealed serious drawbacks: limited scalability, performance bottlenecks, complex management, and a lack of redundancy.
ADTI explored multiple alternatives from vendors like NetApp and Cisco. The company was in search of a solution that could combine enterprise-class reliability and scalability without unnecessary cost.
Thanks to StarWind VSAN, our storage infrastructure has been operating flawlessly with great performance and reliability. StarWind’s offerings were a perfect fit for us, and remain so until today, almost 10 years later.Chief Technology Officer
SOLUTION
ADTI chose StarWind VSAN because it delivered the performance, redundancy, and scalability required to sustain a rapidly growing VMware environment. The solution was simple to deploy and manage, making it possible for ADTI to keep up with its customers’ needs without investing in oversized storage platforms. With StarWind, the company gained reliable shared storage at a fraction of the cost of “big name” vendors, saving tens of thousands of dollars over the years. Nearly a decade later, StarWind VSAN continues to power ADTI’s infrastructure with flawless stability and performance. The solution not only resolved the limitations of the previous setup but also provided the flexibility to grow confidently into the future.
