Oklahoma State University ensures 24/7 availability of critical academic systems by creating resilient shared storage
Oklahoma State University College of Veterinary Medicine, through its Center for Veterinary Health Sciences, needed a more resilient infrastructure to support critical academic and clinical systems for nearly 1,000 students, faculty, and staff. Before deploying StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN), the institution operated a VMware virtualized environment where essential workloads, including an Oracle database, relied on direct-attached storage. This setup limited storage flexibility, reduced disaster recovery capabilities, and posed risks to continuous service availability. By implementing StarWind VSAN, the university created resilient shared storage that enhanced fault tolerance, improved infrastructure reliability, and ensured 24/7 availability of critical systems. The solution strengthened bus
