Business Challenge

One of the leading retailers for food and consumer goods in western Canada was looking for a way to cost-effectively set up an easy to manage virtual server environment for 120 stores which would:

  • effectively consolidate each store’s servers with a shared storage solution
  • provide high-availability as they are a 24/7 business

 

Solution

Having evaluated various solutions, StorMagic’s SvSAN emerged as the most cost-effective solution, giving the retailer the simplicity and high availability they were looking for.

 

Why StorMagic

Cost-effective – SvSAN requires no additional storage adapters and it virtualizes existing storage within the ESX/i servers to optimize utilization.

SvSAN enables enterprise caliber features – such as application clustering and dynamic resource scheduling.

Simplicity – SvSan’s integration with VMware vCenter simplifies the creation, management and provisioning of datastores for multi-site environments

High availability – SvSAN’s 2-server synchronous mirroring eliminates single-point-of-failure.

Simple

Provides a true ‘set and forget’ solution for any environment using centralized deployment and management – whether for thousands of sites or just one.

Cost-Effective

Eliminates physical SANs by converging compute and storage into a lightweight commodity server footprint thereby dramatically lowering costs.

Flexible

Delivers on today’s performance needs leveraging any CPU and storage type whilst avoiding over-provisioning with the confidence of scaling for tomorrow’s demands.
