StorMagic and Mako Networks Partner to Strengthen Edge Infrastructure for Distributed Enterprises

BRISTOL, England – 15 September, 2026 – StorMagic®, simplifying on-site virtualization, and Mako Networks, a leading provider of secure, cloud-managed networking solutions for distributed enterprises, today announced a partnership to help organizations build more resilient and manageable IT environments across remote and distributed locations.

The partnership combines StorMagic SvHCI, a purpose-built hyperconverged infrastructure platform that provides highly available compute, storage and virtualization at the edge, with Mako Networks’ secure SD-WAN and cloud-managed networking platform, which provides PCI-certified centralized network management, secure connectivity and failover capabilities.

The partnership also expands the MakoVerse ecosystem, a growing community of technology partners utilizing Mako technology, to help customers simplify, secure and modernize operations across multiple locations. By combining StorMagic’s edge infrastructure platform with Mako’s cloud-managed networking services, organizations can deploy and manage critical technologies through a more integrated and resilient architecture designed for the realities of multi-site operations.

For convenience stores, fuel retailers, quick-service restaurants and other distributed businesses, even short disruptions to local infrastructure or connectivity can affect payments, customer experience and store operations. With limited on-site IT resources at many locations, remote management, secure connectivity and local resiliency are essential to keeping operations running.

By combining edge networking and edge compute that are simple to deploy, remotely managed and resilient by design, StorMagic and Mako Networks deliver data-driven outcomes that are meaningful to next-generation retailers’ bottom lines.

“Customers managing distributed environments need infrastructure that is resilient by design but also simple enough to manage remotely,” said Jason Kubasak, CEO, Mako Networks. “Our partnership with StorMagic strengthens the MakoVerse ecosystem by bringing together secure connectivity and highly available local infrastructure, helping organizations build a more reliable foundation for their remote locations.”

Mako Networks helps businesses securely connect, manage and protect distributed locations through a fully-managed networking platform. Combined with StorMagic’s edge infrastructure software, customers can reduce deployment complexity, improve operational resilience, and standardize how critical IT services are delivered across multiple sites without requiring local IT staff.

“Distributed organizations need more than reliable servers or network connectivity alone,” said Susan Odle, CEO, StorMagic. “They need an infrastructure approach that keeps the entire site operational. Our work with Mako Networks brings together two complementary layers of the edge environment, helping customers combine uptime with secure connectivity in a way that can be managed efficiently at scale.”

The partnership reflects a shared commitment to helping distributed enterprises simplify edge infrastructure, improve operational resilience and reduce the complexity of managing technology across hundreds or thousands of locations. Together, StorMagic and Mako Networks provide organizations with a practical approach to building and supporting mission-critical edge environments.

Representatives from StorMagic and Mako Networks will be available for customer and partner meetings during NACS 2026 to discuss how the combined solution helps organizations strengthen infrastructure availability, connectivity and remote management across distributed operations.

Organizations interested in learning more about the partnership can schedule meetings with StorMagic and Mako Networks during NACS 2026.
