Manufacturing
Lightweight, highly available solutions to keep your factory running
Maintain On-site High Availability
In manufacturing, productivity is paramount. To meet stringent client demands, mitigate waste, and maintain market share, you need to stay operational and run with maximum efficiency. A single point of infrastructure failure is simply unacceptable. Infrastructure needs built-in redundancy to maintain productivity and reduce the risk of data loss.
StorMagic SvSAN is a 2-node virtual SAN (vSAN) that lets manufacturers of all types and sizes run applications with ease and provides 100% uptime. It removes single points of failure, minimizing both planned and unplanned downtime, at the lowest cost-per-site on the market. This makes it the perfect hyperconverged storage solution to keep your factories and offices up and running. All you need are two x86 servers at each location, with very light server hardware and networking requirements.
“We have 23 production lines that need to remain operational day and night. If anything should go wrong and a robot stops working, it has a huge impact on our business. There are a lot of products on the market that do a similar job but cannot guarantee a real-time failover. With SvSAN we have the same quality as we had in the datacenter at less expense than vSAN.”
