Case Study: SkoleIT achieves high-performance, vendor-lock-in-free all-flash storage for schools with StarWind Virtual SAN (StarWind Software)

How SkoleIT made schools a better place to study with StarWind Virtual SAN

SkoleIT is an IT services provider for education, supporting 90 schools and over 15,000 users with infrastructure, educational platforms and terminal-server solutions. Faced with the need to build an all‑flash storage system that could handle large amounts of data at a moderate price, the company sought a minimal, easy‑to‑manage solution without vendor lock‑in and with better performance than its previous infrastructure.

By deploying StarWind Virtual SAN on standard hardware, SkoleIT avoided vendor lock‑in while achieving higher performance than traditional SANs, plus solid safety and stability. The result was an affordable, all‑flash storage environment that simplified VM hosting and day‑to‑day management for schools, fitting their budgets and operational needs.
