StorMagic Rolling Out SvSAN 5

StorMagic Inc. announced a new version of SvSAN, a storage
virtual appliance.

SvSAN 5
is the first SVA solution that has been developed for large
multi-site branch office environments with automated scripted deployment
capabilities.

It boasts a new interface to enable faster, simplified
deployment and management of shared storage. Organizations seeking StorMagic’s
single-pane-of-glass management can continue to manage SvSAN 5 from
within VMware’s vCenter.

"SvSAN 5 is an attractive solution to large organizations
because it simplifies and lowers the costs of deploying and managing shared
storage in their branch office and remote sites," explains StorMagic
CEO, Hans O’Sullivan. "SvSAN has always been developed with the needs
of the branch office and centralized IT infrastructure in mind. We are thrilled
with the enthusiastic response from our clients with this latest release."

This solutions now provides IT administrators automated deployment of
SVAs and activation of VMware features through scripting. This automated
scripted deployment functionality enables IT administrators to implement VMware
HA at multiple locations simultaneously from the central office with minimal
impact on IT resources.

SvSAN 5 is currently the only SVA that enables scripted
deployment and management of shared storage.

The inclusion of support for SNMP
in SvSAN 5 enables the central office to monitor up to date information on SVA
and Mirror status.
