Case Study: Greenwich Board of Education achieves uninterrupted maintenance and $20,000 in savings with StarWind Software's Virtual SAN (StarWind VSAN)

Greenwich Board of Education updates its servers and maintains high uptime with the help of StarWind

Greenwich Board of Education, which serves about 10,000 students across 16 schools and locations, faced a fragmented infrastructure of standalone Hyper‑V servers with direct‑attached storage. Different maintenance windows and limited IT staff and budget made unified updates and high availability difficult; the district needed an inexpensive, Hyper‑V compatible solution that could run on existing hardware and be simple for average administrators to manage.

They deployed StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN), a Windows‑native Hyper‑V solution that uses current servers without additional hardware. StarWind enabled live migration of VMs so admins can service individual hosts with no service outages, improved uptime, reduced operational complexity, delivered roughly $20,000 in savings over three years, and was supported by responsive StarWind support.
