What does StorMagic do?

StorMagic is solving the world’s edge data problems. We help organizations of all types and sizes store, protect, and manage their data at and from the edge. Our products ensure data is always protected and available, no matter the type or location, to provide value anytime, anywhere.

Our products operate from the harshest edge environments to pristine datacenters, from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies. They are simple, flexible, reliable, and cost-effective, without sacrificing enterprise-class features, for organizations with one to thousands of sites.

StorMagic SvSAN provides highly available hyperconverged storage using only two servers and protects data with encryption features and key management. StorMagic customers around the world have deployed SvSAN in tens of thousands of sites to store, protect, and manage their data and significantly lower costs.

Across many industries, including retail stores, factories, hospitals, universities, and even wind farms and oil rigs, we are helping organizations with their digital transformation.

StorMagic was founded in 2006 with a vision to simplify the storage landscape with solutions that minimize hardware and do not require specialist skills to deploy and manage. We enable organizations to free themselves from cost and complexity while securing and deriving value from their data.

Unlike our competitors, who try to overcome the differences in small and edge environments by forcing customers to adopt over-provisioned datacenter-class solutions, we have specifically designed our software for demanding environments where resources, space, and budgets are limited.

Our product strategy is to deliver the simplest, yet most advanced edge data software solutions so customers can store, protect, and manage their data at and from the edge.

Keep your Edge with StorMagic.
