Cost-effective, 2-node hyperconverged storage on a VMware hypervisor
While VMware is the recognized leader in the storage virtualization sector, there are many options beyond its proprietary vSAN solution for building hyperconverged storage clusters with high availability. StorMagic SvSAN is one of these.
Built with simplicity, flexibility, and reliability at its core, SvSAN provides an extremely cost-effective alternative for organizations with VMware virtualization. It is particularly optimized for SMBs and edge computing environments where resources may be limited and connectivity poor. Choosing SvSAN to provide high availability for VMware virtualized environments brings the following benefits:
StorMagic SvSAN is fully certified and compatible with all versions of VMware vSphere, with rigorous testing and validation carried out on each new release as it becomes available. The most up-to-date compatibility information for SvSAN and vSphere can be obtained from the SvSAN data sheet. Furthermore, with seamless integration into vCenter thanks to the dedicated plugin, SvSAN can be deployed with ease at one or thousands of locations direct from an organization’s vSphere console.
Migrate from VMware vSAN to StorMagic SvSAN
This migration guide provides readers with a simple step-by-step process to non-disruptively migrate a cluster from VMware vSAN to StorMagic SvSAN, while retaining VMware vSphere as the hypervisor. Simplify your technology stack and greatly reduce your costs by switching from vSAN to SvSAN, while keeping applications and data available and online throughout the migration.
