Case Study: The Salvation Army Georgia Division achieves a fully virtualized, highly available IT infrastructure and mission-critical data protection with StarWind Software

The Salvation Army Georgia Division built a fully virtualized IT infrastructure and secured its mission-critical data with StarWind

The Salvation Army Georgia Division, a faith-based non-profit handling large volumes of data, struggled with a partly virtualized Windows environment that relied on physical servers and Hyper-V. The setup was hard to manage, left data security dependent on manual file decisions, and lacked a consolidated, redundant storage layer — all while the organization faced tight budget constraints for upgrading to a hyperconverged infrastructure.

SAGD deployed StarWind HyperConverged Appliance, a 100% software-defined solution that fit their budget and enabled a scalable distributed storage system. By installing right-sized servers and optimizing storage across nodes, they achieved high availability and fault tolerance, stronger redundancy and performance, and benefited from ProActive technical support.
