A StarWind Software Case Study
Takt LLC, a retail and wholesale supplier of roll tooling founded in 1995, needed a fail‑safe shared storage solution for its Hyper‑V environment. With two production servers that had spare disk capacity, the company ruled out expensive hardware SANs (and their remaining single points of failure) and sought a cost‑effective, fault‑tolerant option that would let them keep existing hardware.
They implemented StarWind Native SAN for Hyper‑V, deploying an active‑active HA storage cluster on their Hyper‑V hosts. The solution enabled Live Migration and continuous availability, eliminated downtime, let them reuse standard servers, cut disk requirements by about 75% through deduplication, accelerated slow WAN links by reducing transferred data, and delivered the expected business continuity while lowering costs.
