StorMagic Container Storage Interface Standard Driver to Provide Persistent Storage for Kubernetes-Orchestrated Container Environments

StorMagic announced its Container Storage Interface (CSI), a standard driver that provides persistent storage for Kubernetes-orchestrated container environments.

The CSI driver allows remote sites to deploy containers at the edge with affordable, persistent storage combined with SvSAN’s no single point of failure architecture. Customers can deploy a 2-node, centrally-managed cluster that supports both VMs and containers designed for edge environments, at low cost.

“Containers require little memory, launch quickly, and their efficiency requires less hardware and physical space , which meets the requirements of edge environments,” said Dave Raffo, senior analyst, integrated systems and container storage, Evaluator Group. “StorMagic’s two-node CSI solution helps edge customers modernize their legacy applications while gaining the benefits of containers at the edge.“

Edge computing is enabling innovation and new use cases to help end users solve problems and grow their businesses. Containers are gaining popularity as a deployment model for edge sites because they improve speed, agility and scalability in application deployment. The company’s CSI driver provides connectivity between containers and SvSAN – which includes storage capabilities such as automation, HA and data synchronization.

“StorMagic is making the edge ready for containers with its new CSI driver for SvSAN , the only 2-node Kubernetes solution that supports containers and VMs for less than $10,000, including both hardware and software,” said Bruce Kornfeld, chief marketing and product officer, StorMagic. “StorMagic makes it easy for customers to deploy and manage containers at the edge, combining the speed, agility and scalability of containers, coupled with 100% uptime that SvSAN delivers.“

A complete 2-node firm’s cluster solution with the CSI driver that supports VMs and containers is available through the company’s network of resellers.
