Case Study: A. L. Thompson's achieves scalability and high availability on a budget with StarWind Virtual SAN (StarWind Software)

A. L. Thompson’s gets required scalability and high availability with the bare minimum of expense with StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN)

A. L. Thompson's, a building‑materials retailer based in the Cayman Islands, needed to scale its VMware environment and gain high availability without buying costly direct‑attached storage or replacing existing hardware. The company also needed to optimize heavy virtualized workloads across ESXi hosts while staying within a small‑business budget.

By deploying StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) they added a software‑defined shared storage layer on existing servers, delivering required HA and scalability at minimal expense. The solution enabled VM mobility and even distribution of workloads across ESXi hosts while keeping costs within budget.
