Case Study: SabreTech Consulting LLC achieves fault‑tolerant, zero‑downtime storage without new hardware with StarWind Software (StarWind VSAN)

SabreTech Consulting LLC Finds a “Friend in Need” in StarWind Virtual SAN

SabreTech Consulting LLC is an MSP that provides cloud, managed services, help desk and IT consulting to SMBs across healthcare, retail, manufacturing and government. It needed 24/7 availability but its Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct (Hyper‑V) deployment suffered repeated storage outages and a single point of failure, while the vendor offered little help — a situation SabreTech couldn’t accept given tight SMB budgets.

SabreTech deployed StarWind Virtual SAN on its existing hardware, creating mirrored storage and cache between hosts for a fault‑tolerant pool, while using the Swordfish API for easy management and scaling. The move eliminated the need to buy new physical storage, stabilized performance, secured ongoing vendor support, and saved roughly $20K, leading the company to replace legacy SANs with StarWind.
