StorMagic has just announced a new HCI (hyperconverged infrastructure) solution called SvHCI, which combines a hypervisor and virtual networking with the provider’s proven virtual storage technology used by thousands of customers around the world.

This full-stack HCI solution is purpose-built for edge and small to medium-sized business (SMB) environments and includes StorMagic’s in-house 24x7x365 customer support.

StorMagic is a software-defined storage company with a great two nodes configuration for SMB, using its software based product StorMagic SvSAN, that support VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and KVM platforms.

SvHCI is a software solution that installs directly on new or existing servers and includes a KVM-based hypervisor, advanced virtual networking and SvSAN as the storage software layer. Just like SvSAN, StorMagic SvHCI simplifies operations and delivers high availability for edge and SMBs environments with only two servers, while lowering software costs by up to 62% over VMware.

But why build another HCI solution? Because there are already some existing but designed for enterprise and “big” environments, but not so much for “small” environments like ROBO, edge and SMB.

According to the 2024 Gartner® Market Guide for Full-Stack Hyperconverged Infrastructure Software, “the 30% of the non-market leading full-stack HCI installed base that exists in 2024 will increase to 60% by 2029″. StorMagic believes that this is validating the significant and growing appetite for this type of storage and compute architecture in the market in the wake of the significant market churn witnessed this year.

Generally available later this summer, SvHCI is priced starting at $2,049 for a one-year subscription for a single server and up to 2 TB of storage. StorMagic has also launched an SvHCI Global Beta Program through which customers and partners can get early access to the software and test on their own servers.
