LightChange was looking for a real-time storage replication provider for its customer, an Internet service provider (ISP). The ISP had two geographically disparate SANs, the 2nd one being for an imperfect failover only. Thanks to StarWind, LightChange was able to repurpose both SANs into full production while also achieving flawless HA ready for any disasters.
Find out how LightChange repurposed the existing infrastructure into an HA storage pool without having to buy any new expensive proprietary components thanks to StarWind.
Among other new features, Azure Stack HCI brings the ability to create a stretched cluster. As a result, you’ll be able to unify geographically disparate host servers more effectively to ensure better performance. The only thing is that until Microsoft enables the feature’s deployment via an extension in WAC (coming soon), you'll have to take a bit more steps to do that.
