Case Study: UPV Universitat Politècnica de València achieves high availability for virtual machine storage with StarWind Software (vSAN)

Dpt. Business Management at Universitat Politècnica València keeps its educational data records always highly available (HA) by creating a failover cluster with StarWind vSAN

The Dpt. Business Management at Universitat Politècnica València, an education unit, was running NFS shared among CentOS servers with an XCP‑NG hypervisor and relied only on traditional backups, leaving the environment without scalability or high availability. The department needed shared storage to create a failover cluster and ensure its services and VMs remained available during incidents.

By deploying StarWind vSAN, they built a failover storage cluster that provides highly available VM storage, resulting in smooth, transparent operations and improved data security and resilience. The team also highlighted StarWind’s responsive support, and the CTO reported greater peace of mind knowing critical virtual machine storage is always available.
