A family-owned grocery chain replaced point-of-sale servers running on desktops with three-node clusters in every store.
The situation
Country Grocer serves Vancouver Island and Salt Spring Island. Store systems, including point-of-sale servers, ran on unmonitored desktop machines.
What they did
Each of its 10 stores received a three-node Scale Computing cluster, all deployed in under three months.
The result
Every store now runs on resilient, monitored infrastructure that is managed centrally.
Why it matters
When the till stops, the store stops. Small clusters at each site take the single points of failure out of the building.
