Keeping store apps and data always available
The Ideal Solution for In-Store Computing and Storage
For retailers, in-store infrastructure can be complicated and expensive. Large retail chains suffer from spiraling costs and complexity as solutions are deployed across hundreds or even thousands of stores. Smaller retailers may have lower store counts, but face their own difficulties with limited budgets and resources. StorMagic provides highly available hyperconverged infrastructure and virtualized storage solutions, significantly reducing costs per site. This makes them perfect solutions for the retail industry.
Keep your POS, stock control, and all your in-store applications highly available with StorMagic.
“Sheetz has been able to centrally manage multiple in-store applications quickly and affordably and drastically reduce the number of hardware failures with StorMagic… Thanks to some automated processes and the relatively seamless conversions, we’ve escalated the timeline to standardize on SvSAN across all of our convenience stores.”
