Poquoson City Public Schools in Virginia deploys StarWind
Software’s iSCSI SAN for a scalable disaster recovery solution that
simplifies management of their core IT infrastructure.
Burlington, Mass. – September 13, 2010 - StarWind Software Inc.,
a global leader and pioneer in SAN software for building iSCSI storage
servers, is proud to announce that Poquoson City Public Schools (PCPS)
in Virginia deployed a complete SAN and disaster recovery solution using
StarWind iSCSI Enterprise SAN for High Availability. PCPS was able to
take advantage of StarWind’s recent announcement of discounts for
educational and non-profit organizations to benefit from the
cost-efficiency and scalability of the StarWind iSCSI SAN, simplifying
storage and server management while increasing business continuity
levels. PCPS is one of the first US educational organizations to take
advantage of StarWind’s Educational and non-profit discount program.
Under the discount program educational and non-profit organizations
receive special discounts in time for the beginning of a new academic
year, helping to save budget funds by implementing a reliable enterprise
class iSCSI SAN for a fraction of the cost of competing SAN’s with dual
controllers. StarWind expects more educational institutions and
non-profit organizations to take advantage of this offer in such
difficult budgetary times.
StarWind iSCSI Enterprise SAN allows PCPS to perform off-site data
replication for disaster recovery and backup, take unlimited snapshots
of volumes for fast backup and restores from disk. Thin provisioning
lets PCPS save disk space and eliminate the need to change volumes at
the operating system or application layer when provisioning additional
storage to the SAN. PCPS is running the StarWind SAN in active-active
mode for redundancy between SAN controller nodes for a true enterprise
class SAN solution at a fraction of the cost associated with traditional
hardware SAN solutions.
“We are extremely pleased to help educational institutions like PCPS get
more IT capabilities for lower cost. StarWind is committed to making
highly available SAN’s affordable for schools, colleges and
universities. Our relationship with Poquoson City Public Schools proves
we are committed to helping educational customers acquire enterprise
class SAN solutions at affordable prices,” said Artem Berman, CEO of
StarWind Software, Inc.
The full range of world-renowned storage management and SAN solutions
from StarWind Software is available under the educational and non-profit
discount program. To set up a free consultation and receive more
