What does StorMagic do?
StorMagic makes virtual SANs simple for edge computing. We were founded on the principle of challenging an overly-complex storage market with a simple, lightweight alternative. Our product, SvSAN, is designed for large organizations with thousands of sites and companies running small datacenters that require a highly available, two-server solution that is simple, cost-effective and flexible.
StorMagic SvSAN removes the need for a physical SAN in some of the world’s most demanding environments by converting the disk, flash and memory of two servers into a virtual SAN. It is perfect for typical edge computing deployments such as remote or branch offices and IoT projects that require a small IT footprint.
Our typical customers have distributed IT operations in locations like retail stores, branch offices, factories, warehouses and even wind farms and oil rigs. In all of these deployments, SvSAN enables small hyperconverged clusters with an unrivaled level of simplicity and affordability.
