StorMagic SvSAN

A virtual SAN made simple

What is StorMagic SvSAN?

SvSAN is the virtual SAN that makes the complex world of virtualized storage simple. Perfect for edge computing environments, the technology is based on software-defined storage that eliminates the need for physical SANs. SvSAN is designed to be very simple to install and manage whether deployed as part of a hyperconverged solution or as a storage-only target for any server environment.

How does it work?

Each instance of SvSAN runs as a VSA (Virtual Storage Appliance) on two or more low-cost servers. SvSAN supports the industry leading hypervisors, VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V, and provides the shared storage necessary to enable the advanced hypervisor features such as High Availability/Failover Cluster, vMotion/Live Migration and VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS)/Dynamic Optimization.

SvSAN can be deployed easily with the flexibility to meet changing capacity and performance needs. This is achieved by adding additional compute or storage capacity to the existing servers without impacting service availability. A typical 2-node configuration is shown below:

SvSAN has a lightweight footprint and has been designed for the realities of edge computing such as poor network reliability which is often found in remote areas. It delivers virtual storage and high availability, even when networks have long latencies and limited throughput.

The developer of a next-generation oil rig management platform needed a way to deliver high-availability for its decision support system. Its customers had no on-rig IT staff, but up-time was critical. StorMagic SvSAN enabled highly-available local storage for real-time analysis of oil rig sensor data, while eliminating the need to send an emergency repair crew in the event of a hardware failure.
