Archway School ensures continuous access to its critical educational resources by creating a hyperconverged IT infrastructure
1 PagesArchway School, a secondary school in the United Kingdom serving students aged 11 to 18, needed a more efficient and resilient IT infrastructure to support its educational operations. Before implementing StarWind HCI Appliance (HCA), the school relied on a VMware-based environment built around three host servers, expensive iSCSI switches, and a Nimble SAN, resulting in higher costs and increased infrastructure complexity. By deploying StarWind HCA, Archway School consolidated local storage from multiple hosts into a highly available, hyperconverged platform with built-in redundancy and simplified management. The solution enabled continuous operation even if a host failed, improved fault tolerance, and reduced reliance on costly storage hardware. As a result, the school strengthened busines
