Case Study: Hamden Hall Country Day School achieves high performance and fault tolerance with StarWind Software

Hamden Hall Country Day School achieves high performance and fault tolerance with the help of StarWind

Hamden Hall Country Day School, an independent day school serving over 500 students since 1912, was running an aging IT environment of two Microsoft Hyper‑V servers and an 8‑year‑old SAN. The setup delivered poor performance, a single point of failure and online backups that sometimes took 24 hours, so the school began looking for a more reliable, cost‑effective alternative.

After a detailed analysis and support from StarWind, Hamden Hall deployed a turnkey, affordable 2‑node HCA hyperconverged solution. The new architecture eliminated the single point of failure, delivered fault tolerance with flawless performance and zero downtime, and set the foundation for a long‑term relationship with StarWind.
