A ski resort moved point-of-sale systems off unsupported storage and cut hardware costs by a third.
The situation
Mt. Hood Meadows ran point of sale and core systems on an ageing SAN and HPE StoreVirtual, which had lost vendor support and needed three servers.
What they did
It moved to StorMagic SvSAN on a two-node cluster.
The result
Hardware needs and costs fell by a third, with faster performance from SSD caching.
Why it matters
Seasonal businesses cannot afford downtime in peak weeks. Fewer servers means fewer things to fail.
