About 2,000 stores swapped failing SANs for two servers each, set up remotely in about 40 minutes a site.
The situation
A major U.S. retailer with about 2,000 stores averaged roughly 100 store outages a year from SAN failures, about six hours each.
What they did
It deployed StorMagic SvSAN in every store on two servers using internal storage, with no SAN.
The result
The single point of failure is gone, sites are set up remotely in about 40 minutes, and the chain relies less on outside IT support.
Why it matters
If your stores or branches share one fragile storage box, this is what removing it looks like at scale.
