Case Study: TrendHR reduces hardware TCO with StarWind Software's HCA

TrendHR reduces the TCO for hardware by deploying a hyperconverged infrastructure with StarWind HCA

TrendHR, an SMB in the human resources sector, needed to replace its end-of-life DataON Cluster-in-a-Box appliance. Vendor upgrades that tied hardware to Azure added significant cost, and alternative solutions like TrueNAS were too expensive once high-availability and node requirements were factored in.

TrendHR implemented StarWind HCA, gaining a flexible, scalable on-premises infrastructure with full HA at a lower upfront investment and reduced TCO. The 2-node HCA avoided costly storage-network upgrades, can expand to three nodes without reworking the network, and cost about $16,000 less than the next comparable option—meeting current needs while allowing affordable future growth.
