Case Study: Westone Manor Hotel achieves continuous high availability and zero downtime with StarWind Software (Virtual SAN)

The Westone Manor Hotel gets a smooth operation of its IT infrastructure with continuous HA thanks to StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN)

Westone Manor Hotel, a small hospitality business in Northampton, UK, relied on a single Hyper‑V server to run critical VMs for card payments, POS and remote desktop services. With no shared storage or failover, server failures or power outages caused application shutdowns, lost revenue and lengthy recovery—yet purchasing a traditional SAN was prohibitively expensive.

The hotel implemented StarWind Virtual SAN to create a two‑node failover cluster, delivering automatic failover and continuous high availability without extra hardware costs. The solution eliminated most downtime, saved the hotel thousands by avoiding expensive SAN equipment, and enabled more reliable operations and business development.
