Case Study: North Valley Health Center achieves high availability and improved performance with StarWind Software's Virtual SAN

North Valley Health Center Ensures That Their Patients Always Enjoy Only Highly Available Systems Thanks to StarWind VSAN

North Valley Health Center, a small rural hospital in Northwestern Minnesota providing primary, specialty, inpatient and 24‑hour ER care since 1905, was running a modest VMware vSphere environment with shared network storage and needed to improve infrastructure performance and ensure high availability. After trialing VMware vSAN, the team sought a more cost‑effective, higher‑performing solution.

They implemented StarWind Virtual SAN, which delivered a marked boost in application performance and much faster high‑availability failover. The result: more resilient, highly available systems that meet the hospital’s needs and give staff confidence that critical services will remain online even during disasters.
