VMware Storage Virtual Appliances go Mainstream!

2010-04-19T18:00:39Z

Mike Stolz, VP Of Marketing at StorMagic recently wrote an article for Virtual Strategy Magazine that discusses the importance of SVA's in a VMware environment.

Server virtualization has addressed the needs of enterprise users and many of these organizations have implemented it in production environments. Small to mid-sized organizations have been slower to adopt server virtualization due to the cost and complexity of implementation. Recent announcements from VMware and Citrix have been focused on enabling small to mid-sized organizations to realize the benefits of a virtualized IT infrastructure. (Click here to continue...)

What are your organizational resolutions for 2010? For many of you, implementing a Business Continuity strategy has been an unfulfilled resolution due to the associated costs of hardware and the complexity involved. According to VMware, Business Continuity tops customers’ demand with 45 percent expressing that it is important for their organization. So where’s the challenge? While VMware presents you with many of the advanced features enabling business continuity, you still require the shared storage that unlocks those features. As a result, a Business Continuity strategy is put on the back burner thus exposing your organization to risk. In fact, 93% of companies that suffer significant data loss are out of business in five years!

Business Continuity plans will keep your organization up and running through interruptions but without the required shared storage, your organization is deprived of any of the features that enable this. Recently, StorMagic introduced the SvSAN, a virtual SAN that leverages the internal disks of your VMware server to give you shared storage. This smart technology prevents the need to invest in an expensive SAN or NAS and allows you to leverage advanced VMware features such as VMware HA, VMotion and DRS. The SvSAN also integrates directly into vCenter making it one of the easiest management tools on the market. In the process, you’ve taken the first step toward your Business Continuity initiatives.

As you begin 2010, it’s time to implement your organization’s Business Continuity strategy. The SvSAN removes the traditional cost and complexity barrier to give your business the protection it deserves. Join us for this informative webinar discussing how to plan for your Business Continuity in 2010. You will learn about Business Continuity considerations and how the SvSAN can go to immediate work for your organization. In fact, why not get a kick start today and download our complimentary SvSAN HA Kit here.

I've just seen the future of Virtualization for SMEs

2009-06-01T22:07:50Z

Cloud computing changes things, it makes administration and management of an X.86 environment easier and more automated. But until now the real goodies of VMWare's product set, VMotion and VSphere have been limited to the small number of organizations that can afford to install a SAN. You see shared storage is a necessity in VMWare's vision of the cloud but smaller companies (known as SME for Small and Medium Enterprises) have been locked out by the not insignificant investment of buying shared storage.

Learn how "Unused VMware disks pave the way for highly available datastores"

2009-05-21T21:08:51Z

StorageVirtualAppliance.com presents..

. . . an opportunity for you to learn an innovative and revolutionary way to transform your VMware server as you know it! Traditionally the only way you could benefit from features such as VMotion and DRS was to implement an external SAN. While High Availability is an absolute necessity for most organizations, the cost and complexity of an external SAN has been a significant roadblock. This webinar is an opportunity for you to understand how the internal disks in your VMware server can be used in a Virtual SAN that provides highly available datastores and simplified management

Storage Virtual Appliances (SVAs) are quickly revolutionizing the virtualization space as you know. SVAs leverage your VMware server and provides you with a virtual SAN that enables datastores to be shared in the same way as an external shared storage system. Utilizing the internal disks (that are more than likely unused) within your VMware server, a SVA gives you the ability to leverage advanced server virtualization features that can bolster your IT environment to new heights without spending additional capital.

StorageVirtualAppliance.com is an educational resource site committed to bringing you this informative 45 minute webinar. Sign up now as space is limited! Join your hosts John McArthur (President of Walden Technology Partners and former Group Vice President and General Manager at IDC) and Mike Stolz (VP of Marketing, StorMagic)

STORAGE allowing you to implement a high availability ESX environment with VMotion & shared datastores
VIRTUAL SAN utilizes the internal disk and processor resources of your ESX server
APPLIANCE allows management of datastores, SAN & RAID right from vCenter

A Storage Virtual Appliance (SVA) unlocks the processor and data storage resources of the ESX server and provides a virtual SAN that enables datastores to be shared in the same way as an external shared storage system. By using the internal disk drives of the ESX server to create a virtual SAN, SVAs provide a cost effective shared storage environment without having to install a complex external SAN.

Storage Virtual Appliances are quickly setting the trend for an economy that continues to look for cost effective and efficient solutions to manage data storage in virtual environments. Don't be left behind!

During this 45 Webinar, you will have an opportunity to learn about how SVAs are revolutionizing the ESX environment by allowing you to cost effectively leverage advanced virtualization features.

Abracadabra: StorMagic Brings Shared Storage to VMware Environments

2009-03-19T22:00:31Z

http://www.crn.com/storage/215802120

*Why You Should Care:* Server virtualization requires some sort of storage networking in order to migrate virtual servers. StorMagic's SvSAN allows the easy deployment of a highly-available shared storage solution using storage capacity in the host servers.

*The Lowdown:* StorMagic started as a developer of shared storage appliances, but then found that its software can also be implemented on virtual appliances.

That software, SvSAN, allows the deployment of a high-availability shared storage in VMware ESX virtual server infrastructures, said Mike Stolz, vice president of marketing at StorMagic.
