Case Study: Hotels Unlimited achieves highly available, scalable, and cost‑efficient shared storage with StarWind Software

Hotels Unlimited got Unlimited shared storage and more cost-efficient IT infrastructure with StarWind

Hotels Unlimited is a family‑owned New Jersey hospitality company operating several hotels and recognized with 40 TripAdvisor Certificates of Excellence since 2011. Their Dell servers and storage running Microsoft Hyper‑V lacked redundancy, and they needed a solution that would let them scale compute and storage independently since hyperconvergence was not an option.

By deploying StarWind Virtual SAN, Hotels Unlimited gained highly available shared storage that supports a separated compute/storage architecture, provides redundancy for their Hyper‑V cluster, and allows independent scaling — all at a reasonable cost while using their preferred hardware vendor. The deployment met their on‑site HA requirements and positions them to extend backups to Azure.
