Case Study: CollectionCenter, Inc. achieves redundant, cost-efficient hyperconverged HA and nearly 50% equipment cost reduction with StarWind Software (StarWind HCA)

CollectionCenter, Inc. received the truly redundant and cost-efficient hyperconverged cluster solution with StarWind

CollectionCenter, Inc., a US accounts-receivables management firm in the Rocky Mountain region with nearly 100 years of experience, needed an affordable hyperconverged solution to secure high availability and fault tolerance for large volumes of client financial data. Its IT environment was fragmented across aging hardware and multiple hypervisors (Citrix, VMware, Microsoft), and evaluated alternatives (S2D, HPE SimpliVity, Dell EMC VxRail, BYO) failed to meet price and technical requirements without additional host purchases.

The company implemented StarWind HCA—the only truly redundant, cost-efficient two-node hyperconverged cluster they found—to create a single HA Hyper‑V cluster with added redundancy. The solution eliminated legacy hardware and multiple hypervisors, nearly halved equipment costs, reduced downtime, improved data protection and reliability, and enabled cloud-migration options that lower ongoing expenses.
