Case Study: Robertson Loia Roof PC achieves cost-effective, easy-to-manage shared storage from off-the-shelf hardware with StarWind Software (StarWind Virtual SAN)

Robertson Loia Roof PC built shared storage using off-the-shelf hardware with StarWind Virtual SAN

Robertson Loia Roof PC, a nearly 40‑year‑old architecture and engineering firm repeatedly recognized by the Atlanta Business Chronicle, was moving to VMware-based virtualization and needed shared storage. Physical SAN options proved too costly and high-maintenance, so the company sought software that could turn off‑the‑shelf hardware into reliable shared storage.

Robertson Loia Roof deployed StarWind Virtual SAN for its hardware‑agnostic design, flexibility, and simple administration backed by responsive support. The vSAN delivered shared storage on commodity hardware that any admin can manage, meeting the firm’s needs while avoiding the expense and complexity of traditional SANs — a solution IT Manager Matt Bhame says “checked all of our needs.”
