StorMagic SvSAN is a software solution which enables enterprises to eliminate downtime of business critical applications at the edge, where this disruption directly equates to a loss in service and revenue. StorMagic SvSAN ensures high availability through a virtualized shared storage platform, so that business critical edge applications remain operational. StorMagic's typical customer has anywhere between 10 - 10,000 edge sites, where local IT resource is not available, but uptime of applications is a must. StorMagic SvSAN provides an intuitive, standardized management interface that allows multiple SvSANs, spread across remote sites, to be managed and provisioned quickly and simply either locally, or remotely, from a central location. StorMagic SvSAN's efficient and flexible architecture and its modular approach enable it to meet the ever-changing and increasingly demanding storage requirements within any organization. StorMagic SvSAN enables iSCSI storage area networks (SAN) to be created by deploying virtual storage appliances (VSA) using internal or direct attached server storage. It can be used to provide highly available storage, without the expense of an external SAN.
