Keiser Corporation: a factory that survives a fire in one corner

October 27, 20261 min read

An exercise equipment maker spread a three-node cluster across its plant so no single event takes everything down.

The situation

Keiser builds exercise equipment in Fresno, California, and needed its plant systems protected from local failures and disasters.

What they did

It deployed StorMagic SvSAN on a three-node cluster, with each server at a different, far-apart point of the factory.

The result

A component failure or a fire in one area no longer takes down the whole system.

Why it matters

Manufacturers can build resilience inside the building they already have, without a second site.

Source: StorMagic. This organization is a StorMagic customer, not a Connex client.
