Highly available, hyperconverged two server solution with Cisco UCS & SvSAN

StorMagic’s virtual SAN running on Cisco UCS servers enables cost-effective, highly available hyperconverged infrastructure that is simple to manage.

This means multi-site organizations can gain the benefits of high availability with only two physical UCS servers running SvSAN at each location. This can save millions of dollars in hardware, software and maintenance costs by simplifying the configuration and eliminating the need for external, physical SANs at each location.

Cisco’s range of server platforms are optimized for varying environments and workloads so any enterprise can meet their IT requirements on a Cisco UCS server platform; from lean, remote sites to the datacenter.

The UCS and SvSAN solution is fully validated by Cisco and is available on Cisco’s Global Price List, so purchasing though a local Cisco Partner couldn’t be easier.

SvSAN is most frequently deployed on either UCS C- or E-Series servers, depending on the organization’s workload.

Flexit: HyperFlex End-of-Life and Replacement

With Cisco exiting the hyperconverged market after the end-of-life (EOL) of its HyperFlex product line, Cisco customers face a costly migration to Nutanix software and upgraded M6 UCS hardware. But alternatives are available. Migrating from Cisco HyperFlex to StorMagic SvSAN is a straightforward process. Find out more with these resources:
