CHALLENGE

Before StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) deployment, Chalk Mountain Services faced significant challenges in upgrading its IT infrastructure due to budget constraints. The existing infrastructure lacked scalability and reliability, making it vulnerable to outages.

With Hyper-V as its chosen hypervisor, the company struggled to find a cost-effective solution that could meet its high availability (HA) and performance requirements.

Nothing was as reliable as StarWind that tested. It allowed us to create an HA virtual server environment within our budget and met our goals.

SOLUTION

Chalk Mountain Services selected StarWind VSAN for its reliability and affordability. StarWind‘s solution allowed the company to create an HA virtual server environment within its budgetary constraints, effectively addressing its infrastructure needs.

Chalk Mountain Services now enjoys a robust and scalable infrastructure. It can easily migrate virtual machines (VMs) between servers while maintaining HA, ensuring minimal downtime during outages. Additionally, the StarWind solution has saved the company significant costs compared to other options. The positive experience with StarWind ProActive Premium Support, which provided timely assistance during critical issues, has reinforced its confidence in the company.
