Insight has approved StorMagic SvSAN for purchase by their own end users through their existing GSA Schedule 70 and SEWP contracts. Federal agencies and state, local and education (SLED) customers can purchase and integrate SvSAN, a lightweight virtual SAN, to add HA and flexibility at small datacenter and edge sites, all within their restricted budgets.

“Last year, Insight public sector saw a significant increase in client interest for virtualizing smaller sites by adding hyperconverged infrastructure,” said Scott Friedlander, VP, Insight public sector. “These requests drove us to evaluate and add more virtual SAN solutions to our solutions and managed services portfolio. Federal and SLED environments can quickly and affordably virtualize their sites with StorMagic SvSAN, leveraging our expertise in supply chain optimization and cloud and data center transformation to reduce IT costs and consolidate legacy infrastructure with new technologies.“

SvSAN offers an affordable path to update traditional environments through the addition of modern software and the elimination of costly physical SANs. Its Advanced Edition includes Predictive Storage Caching, which utilizes patent-pending algorithms to unleash the power of memory and hybrid disk configurations – often delivering all-flash performance at a fraction of the cost. StorMagic’s integrated data encryption and key management solution, StorSecure, lets agencies and SLED customers introduce FIPS 140-2 compliant data encryption and key management. StorSecure encrypts data and stores keys onsite, in the datacenter or cloud for only $2,000 per location.

“US federal agencies and SLED accounts seek approved IT solutions that are listed by trusted partners to meet restricted budgets and simplify the procurement process,” said Brian Grainger, CRO, StorMagic. “Insight is well known for their world-class support services, so agencies and SLED customers can purchase, obtain support on approved contracts, all from a one stop shop.“

A sample of StorMagic’s current federal and SLED industry customers include Bermuda Tourism Authority, CAE, CITA, the City of Cedar Rapids, the German Army, Gwinnett County Public Library and Rothamsted Research.
