Case Study: VIP Technology Solutions Group achieves fault-tolerant, cost-efficient hyperconverged high availability with StarWind Software (StarWind HCA)

VIP Technology Solutions Group builds a hyperconverged fault-tolerant IT infrastructure with StarWind HyperConverged Appliance (HCA)

VIP Technology Solutions Group, an SMB-focused IT services provider serving Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas and Kansas, was running non-clustered Hyper‑V servers that left data and virtual machines vulnerable—server shutdowns took all VMs offline. The company sought an affordable, fault‑tolerant hyperconverged solution with proactive support and rejected HPE due to its high cost.

StarWind HyperConverged Appliance (HCA) provided a multi‑node, high‑availability cluster that preserves data integrity on node failure and enabled private cloud hosting of customer data. The deployment included ProActive Premium Support (which resolved two cluster issues in eight months), proved up to 35% cheaper than the HPE alternative, and has led VIP to plan further cluster expansion.
