Case Study: USS Midway Museum saves $80,000+ and achieves high availability with StarWind Software's Virtual SAN (VSAN)

The USS Midway Museum saves more than $80,000 on hardware and software expenses with StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN)

The USS Midway Museum, a naval aircraft carrier museum in San Diego, needed shared storage and high availability for its 4‑node Hyper‑V failover cluster (Windows Server 2012) but faced exorbitant costs and onerous support plans from traditional SAN vendors.

By deploying StarWind Virtual SAN on existing commodity hardware, the museum gained a cost‑efficient, reliable shared storage solution that delivered the required HA without extra support fees — saving more than $80,000 in hardware and software expenses.
