If they had physical servers in the past - did they have data redundancy that made a SAN a requirement when moving to a virtualized environment?

If not, that would be a classic changing of the requirements and over building of a solution causing spending that wasn't ever really needed.

I wonder if they could have gone with externally attached storage (assuming they couldn't get enough into a single chassis) to support their entire 6 servers worth of load onto a single VM host?

@KOOLER I love the updates for customers who are using Starwind vSAN but we need some metrics. These articles aren't providing even an Executive summary of the differences from what the customer had to what they have now.

Please provide more details, either in the PDF or on the summary posted to forums like this one.

@dyasny Yeah no kidding

@scottalanmiller said in StarWind Success Story: Innotech Windows + Doors reduces IT costs by 80%:

This kind of savings should always be stated as "in comparison to." So like solution X is a 50% savings versus solution Y. Because there is always a free option, which often involves doing nothing. "Savings" is a weird concept in general. Sounds good in a commercial, but rarely means anything.

That marketing is so ingrained in people anymore.

The new thing with Microsoft Azure is SiteCore, that is the new trend and people are already on that. Not sure but we might want to discuss that on ML one of this days. @scottalanmiller

I looked into this product when I was researching Reverse proxy systems that worked with Exchange 2010/2013.

This was a really nice product, but more than the clients needed.
