Case Study: CIENA Healthcare Management, Inc. achieves $80,000+ upfront cost savings and high availability with StarWind Software vSAN

Ciena Healthcare saves more than $80,000 in upfront cost by deploying a StarWind vSAN-based high availability (HA) cluster

Ciena Healthcare, a provider of rehabilitation and long-term nursing care in Michigan, needed virtual shared storage to achieve scalability and high availability. Its prior IBM-storage-on-VMware setup imposed vendor lock-in, limited scalability, and licensing constraints; after evaluating VMware vSAN and TrueNAS, Ciena found StarWind vSAN the easiest, fastest, and most flexible option.

By deploying a StarWind vSAN-based HA storage cluster, Ciena immediately saved just over $80,000 in upfront costs and gained reliable high availability. The new virtual shared storage lets the organization scale resources and add units without vendor lock-in, while simplifying storage management and maintenance.
