The Challenge

Dustin had accumulated multiple IT platforms over time that had become too large, complex, and expensive to run efficiently. They needed to consolidate onto one standardized cloud platform, cut IT management overhead, and adopt technology flexible enough to keep pace with market demands.

The Solution

Dustin replaced VMware and Hyper-V with a next-gen stack built on KVM, choosing StorPool Storage for primary and secondary block storage and OpenNebula as the cloud management layer, running on standard hardware instead of specialized, siloed SAN/NAS infrastructure.

The Results

Unified stack

One unified technology stack across every location and business unit

No vendor lock-in

Vendor lock-in eliminated by moving off proprietary SAN/NAS and Fiber Channel

Lower CAPEX & OPEX

Pay-as-you-grow scalability with lower CAPEX and optimized OPEX

Fully Managed Service

IT team freed from day-to-day storage operations via Fully Managed Service
