Case Study: NCOL® Internet achieves simplified IT management and $30K+ savings with StarWind Software (StarWind Virtual SAN)

NCOL Internet attains simplicity and clarity in IT infrastructure administration saving over $30K with StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN)

NCOL Internet, a Vancouver-based developer of custom web applications, faced costly, time-consuming administration of an on-premises Windows environment where Microsoft DFS and Hyper-V forced constant data duplication and complex management. The company needed reliable, affordable virtual storage for its web server VMs to reduce operational overhead and simplify IT administration.

NCOL deployed StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN), drawn by its low cost, responsive support, extensive documentation, and an intuitive management console that replaced the DFS complexity with centrally managed shared storage. The VSAN delivered high availability for web-server VMs, simplified daily operations, and saved the company more than $30,000 versus the cheapest SAN alternative.
