BUSINESS CHALLENGE

  • The Maho Group – leading leisure and resort firm in the Caribbean
  • Resorts, hotels, casinos and residential developments
  • IT team responsible for services to 25-30 buildings
  • Regular power outages, even with triple protection on equipment

such as generators, etc

  • Susceptible to tropical storms and hurricanes

END USER EXPERIENCE

SOLUTION

  • Wanted virtualized servers but couldn’t afford external SAN
  • Ambition to reduce downtime through high availability and redundancy
  • Solution would be responsible for:
  • Property and casino management systems (PMS)
  • Firewalls and remote desktop services
  • Deployed in 2012 on Dell servers, mostly hard disks with one SSD per server
  • Utilized stretch cluster capability by deploying across two buildings

WHY STORMAGIC?

  • Reliable, resilient solution – completely eliminated unplanned

downtime

  • Avoided having to purchase external SANs, saving a significant

amount of money

  • Allowed for improvements in business efficiency
  • Non-disruptive maintenance on hardware, software and firmware

has removed the need to schedule application downtime

  • Consistent, confidence-inspiring support
  • Aided the design, performance testing and configuration
