Case Study: Mt. Hood Meadows achieves simpler, lower-cost high availability with StorMagic SvSAN

Mt. Hood Meadows cuts hardware needs by 33% with StorMagic

Mt. Hood Meadows, a ski resort in Oregon, faced challenges with an outdated and difficult-to-manage physical SAN hosting its critical applications, including point-of-sale systems. They initially moved to HPE StoreVirtual but needed a new solution when that product reached end-of-support. They sought a more flexible, scalable, and affordable virtualized solution, leading them to evaluate StorMagic.

StorMagic implemented its SvSAN solution, which reduced the resort's hardware requirements by 33% by needing only two servers for high availability instead of the three required by the previous solution. This change lowered costs and increased performance through features like SSD caching. Mt. Hood Meadows also praised StorMagic for its exceptional support, competitive pricing, and the solution's rich features, which made it the superior choice over alternatives like StarWind and VMware vSAN.
