The news that Broadcom acquired VMware has been widely reported and dissected by experts, media outlets and other companies alike. At StorMagic we recognize VMware’s position within the virtual SAN market and believe that our offering, SvSAN is an ideal alternative or replacement for organizations concerned by the uncertainty surrounding VMware and vSAN. As the infographic shows, adding an ‘S’ to vSAN and switching to SvSAN brings with it Stability, Savings, Security and Simplicity.
SvSAN is far more lightweight than vSAN, requiring less hardware, with lower system requirements, costs significantly less and is far more flexible. It is compatible with vSphere, Hyper-V and Linux KVM hypervisors, any x86 servers and any combination of storage types. SvSAN has been built specifically for the demands of the edge, where conditions are far from ideal and where cost pressures can be extreme.
