CHALLENGE

Before deploying StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN), North Valley Health Center operated with a modest IT infrastructure consisting of shared network storage managed by VMware. The hospital faced challenges with its IT performance and sought a solution to achieve high availability (HA) for its critical applications and resources. 

Initially, the hospital considered VMware vSAN but ultimately required a more cost-effective option that aligned with its budget constraints and operational needs.

SOLUTION

North Valley Health Center chose StarWind VSAN because it provided a comprehensive solution to enhance its IT performance and achieve HA at a better value. StarWind VSAN significantly improved the speed and reliability of the hospitals IT infrastructure, ensuring that critical applications and resources operate seamlessly even during potential disasters.

With this solution in place, the hospital staff can rely on a highly available IT environment that ensures uninterrupted care and operational efficiency, meeting all its infrastructure goals with confidence.
