StorMagic SvHCI
StorMagic SvHCI is a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution that incorporates hypervisor, software-defined storage, and virtualized networking into a single software stack. With SvHCI, your organization can virtualize your entire infrastructure without the significant financial commitment required by other solutions on the market.
SvHCI provides high availability with a unique cluster architecture of just 2 nodes. Data is synchronously mirrored between the two nodes, meaning an exact copy is always available on either node. If one node goes offline, the StorMagic witness maintains the cluster's health, keeping stores open, production lines moving and services running until the failed node is restored. A single StorMagic witness located anywhere in the world can service 1000 StorMagic clusters simultaneously.
