Case Study: Hosters cuts storage costs and boosts performance with Microsoft Windows Server 2016

Hosting firm cuts storage costs up to 50 percent and transforms services with Windows Server 2016

Hosters, a Danish provider of hosted and cloud services, faced the challenge of needing to increase its infrastructure capacity and handle bigger workloads for its global customers without raising operational costs. To avoid purchasing expensive new hardware, the company partnered with Microsoft to become an early adopter of Windows Server 2016.

By implementing Microsoft's software-defined technologies, specifically Storage Spaces Direct and Nano Server, Hosters transformed its service delivery. The solution drastically simplified storage setup, improved performance, and increased server density. As a result, Microsoft's technology helped Hosters cut its storage costs by more than 50 percent, allowing the company to lower its list prices for customers by 25 to 50 percent while also eliminating a major performance bottleneck.
