Solar Systems improves operational efficiency and critical service reliability by creating a hyperconverged IT environment with StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN)

CHALLENGE

Before deploying StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN), Solar Systems faced a significant challenge in ensuring the uptime of its critical servers. Operating in a Hyper-V virtualized environment, the existing infrastructure lacked the robustness to handle unexpected downtime effectively. The limitations in scheduling maintenance windows without server interruptions further exacerbated the issue.

While exploring potential solutions, the team found other vendor offerings overly complex and insufficiently aligned with their needs. The company sought a solution that could guarantee high availability (HA) and streamline management without compromising operational efficiency.

Hyperconverged infrastructure powered by StarWind VSAN has allowed us to ensure uptime and create service windows during normal working hours without the need to take servers offline.
