Case Study: Kellstrom Defense Aerospace reclaims storage and simplifies IT management with StarWind Software

Kellstrom Defense Aerospace makes effective storage space allocation and gets easy IT infrastructure management with StarWind

Kellstrom Defense Aerospace, a mid-sized distributor and MRO provider for military aircraft, was struggling with an aging, poorly documented compute/storage-separated clustered storage environment. Orphaned drives and hardware underutilization left valuable server capacity locked up, made management time-consuming, and increased the effort required to keep the cluster running reliably.

By deploying StarWind VSAN the company reorganized its clustered environment, gained centralized management, and reclaimed and redistributed storage capacity. The solution simplified backups and sped up restores, and responsive StarWind support helped resolve deployment issues quickly — leaving Kellstrom able to optimize hardware use and plan regular upgrades going forward.
