The AS -1115SV-WTNRT platform’s AMD processor delivers significant parallel processing power for virtualization, database management, and edge computing workloads. Tailor your storage performance and capacity with 10 front hot-swap 2.5″ drive bays supporting all-SATA, NVMe, or SAS configurations, or any hybrid mix. It contains the resources to deploy applications locally while maintaining the high availability your business depends on.
SYS-112B-WN2T
When there’s a need for hardware to support high-performance, data-intensive workloads, the SYS-112B-WN2T comes into its own. Deploy alongside StorMagic to enable highly available applications requiring GPU-accelerated compute to be located right where they are needed, at the edge. The 6 hot-swap 2.5″ NVMe bays and 3 PCIe 5.0 slots give you significant capacity and flexibility within the space-efficient 1U form factor.
Use Cases
Seamless IT
StorMagic and Supermicro deliver a powerful, cost-effective solution for industrial environments, enabling organizations to upgrade their infrastructure with high availability and minimal complexity.
Zero Downtime Deployment
StorMagic, running on Supermicro servers, ensures a smooth, uninterrupted transition to hyperconverged infrastructure. Businesses can repurpose existing SAN storage for backups while maintaining continuous operations.
Installation
Can be deployed as a single server, simple 2-node cluster, or multi-node cluster, with the flexibility to meet changing capacity and performance needs. This is achieved by adding additional capacity to existing servers or growing the cluster, without impacting service availability.
Scalability
With StorMagic’s flexible licensing model and Supermicro’s scalable hardware, businesses can easily expand compute and storage capacity without disruption, adapting to future demands effortlessly.
Reduced Hardware Requirements
StorMagic is both server- and hypervisor-agnostic, giving customers flexibility during initial installation and over time as needs change. Because StorMagic only requires two servers, it can dramatically reduce overall hardware requirements.
Maximized Performance and Reliability
StorMagic synchronously mirrors data between Supermicro servers, eliminating single points of failure and ensuring high availability, uptime, and performance for mission-critical applications.
Cost-effective
By processing and storing data locally, this solution reduces cloud storage costs while delivering the high availability and reliability modern industrial operations require.
Data Protection and Storage Capacity
Reliable, resilient solutions protect data and eliminate the threat of downtime. At the same time, the StorMagic licensing model allows additional compute and storage capacity to be added without increasing costs or disruption.
Energy Efficiency
Software-defined StorMagic requires far less power and cooling than traditional physical SANs.
Conclusion
Combining StorMagic with Supermicro’s high-performance servers gives businesses a flexible, scalable, and cost-effective IT system. This collaboration removes complexity, cuts hardware costs, and ensures zero downtime. Whether in remote locations, industrial sites, or enterprise data centers, organizations can easily upgrade their IT while maintaining smooth operations with high performance and reliability.
