A self-governing First Nation in British Columbia rebuilt after a flood on one cluster its single IT staffer can run.
The situation
Flood damage took out servers that were already ageing, at a nation with five sites and one person looking after IT.
What they did
Kitselas moved to Scale Computing HyperCore, running 14 virtual machines across its five sites on a single cluster.
The result
The IT staffer reports spending about 15% less time managing infrastructure, with high availability and recovery built in.
Why it matters
One IT person, many sites and no room for downtime describes plenty of Canadian municipalities and First Nations. A self-healing cluster is built for exactly that.
