Case Study: Volex achieves improved IT performance and cost‑efficient virtual shared storage with StarWind Software's VSAN

Volex secures its integrated electronic manufacturing process by refreshing an out-of-date IT infrastructure with StarWind VSAN

Volex, a UK‑headquartered global provider of integrated electronic manufacturing and power products, faced a decade‑old IT environment—servers and iSCSI storage running on VMware—that was slow and reaching end‑of‑life. The company needed cost‑effective virtual shared storage but found VMware vSAN too expensive, so it evaluated alternatives to refresh its infrastructure.

After validation, Volex deployed StarWind VSAN to replace aging servers and storage at a reasonable price. The solution improved data access speed and overall infrastructure performance, enabled a redundant vSwitch for better synchronization, and delivered a reliable, cost‑efficient shared storage platform that met the company’s requirements.
