Information

StorMagic SvSAN

• Turns underlying storage of any x86 server into highly available shared storage within clusters of two servers (nodes) or more

• Sits on top of the hypervisor as a guest virtual machine, and is fully compatible with VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Linux KVM

• Shared storage works through active-active synchronous mirroring between two servers
• Ensures there is always an exact copy of data on each server
• If one server fails or is taken offline, the remaining server continues to operate, providing no disruption in service to the organization, and no downtime

• Provides highly available shared storage on just two nodes
• Can be on-site or remote to the cluster
• Provide quorum for up to 1,000 clusters at a time
