StorMagic introduces HCI solution for edge and SMB environments

Following the acquisition of VMware by Broadcom, the market for hyperconverged solutions is on the move. Time for StorMagic SvHCI

StorMagic simplifies operation

Starline partner StorMagic, a specialist in Software Defined Storage (SDS), announces the new SvHCI. SvHCI is a hyperconverged solution that combines a hypervisor and virtual networks with StorMagic's proven virtual storage technology SvSAN, which is used by thousands of customers.

Just like SvSAN, StorMagic SvHCI simplifies operations and provides high availability for edge and SMB environments with just two servers. The new hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution was developed specifically for edge environments and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

SvSAN forms the basis of the new complete solution. However, in order to achieve high availability with SvSAN, a hypervisor from VMware or Microsoft is currently still required.

SvHCI aims to change that, as this software solution can be installed directly on new or existing servers and comes with a KVM-based hypervisor, an advanced virtual network and SvSAN as the storage software layer.

StorMagic SvHCI offers up to 62 per cent savings over VMware. In addition, StorMagic SvHCI includes 24x7x365 customer support.

„StorMagic SvHCI is based on the same proven SvSAN code that we have been providing to our customers for more than a decade with over 50,000 installations worldwide. With SvHCI, we help end users transition from expensive, over-engineered and over-provisioned software running on VMware to our suitable and reliable solution.”

Dan Beer, Chief Executive Officer from StorMagic

Availability

StorMagic SvHCI will be available in Q3 2024. A one-year subscription for a single server and up to 2 TB of storage will start at $2,049 (savings range from 21 per cent to 62 per cent compared to VMware).

The beta programme is active immediately. StorMagic customers and partners can gain early access to the software and test it on their own servers as part of a beta programme.
