Case Study: Leighton Broadcasting cuts downtime from days to minutes with StarWind Software

Leighton Broadcasting reduced their downtimes with StarWind HyperConverged Appliance

Leighton Broadcasting, a St. Cloud–based radio advertising and marketing company that provides live broadcasting, on-air sponsorships and digital consulting, was running entirely on physical servers and external USB hard drives. That setup produced long recovery times — three to four days — and frequent downtime that threatened service continuity and operational efficiency.

Leighton selected the StarWind HyperConverged Appliance for its cost-effectiveness and feature set; the appliance delivered high availability, improved fault tolerance and much faster recovery workflows. As a result, downtime dropped from days to several minutes, rack space and power needs were reduced, and the company reports cutting physical automation system costs by at least 50%.
