Case Study: Young America achieves cost-efficient high availability with StarWind Software (StarWind Virtual SAN)

Young America achieved IT infrastructure high availability without building a new environment from scratch

Young America, a digital marketing company that digitizes rebates, promotions and sweepstakes, was running on a single, aging ESXi host whose disks could fail at any time. The lack of redundancy and the high cost of traditional SAN hardware left the company needing an affordable way to achieve high availability.

The company deployed StarWind Virtual SAN, which provided HA using off‑the‑shelf hardware, avoided the expense and complexity of a physical SAN, and simplified management. The result was a cost‑efficient, hardware‑agnostic solution that eliminated single‑point failure risk, reduced operational worry, and gave IT and management greater peace of mind.
