StorMagic,
a leading provider of enterprise-class software-defined storage for
virtual server environments, today announced the availability of its
management pack and storage management provider (SMP) for Microsoft
System Center Operations Manager (SCOM). The new management pack allows
users to centralize monitoring of their entire SvSAN multisite storage
infrastructure, which could encompass up to 10,000 sites, through one
single pane of glass. It also includes real-time alerting and monitoring
capabilities to simplify potential problem identification and
troubleshooting, helping users address any issues in a timely manner.
StorMagic’s SvSAN allows companies with multiple locations, such as
remote or branch offices (ROBOs), to store critical applications and
associated data on site so that they are available at all times without
needing access to company-wide networks. This is particularly important
if they relate to customer-facing applications in retail outlets,
hotels, or chains of restaurants, for example. Disruption at these sites
can lead to a loss in service and damage customer perceptions of the
brand. However, StorMagic’s SvSAN ensures high availability by keeping
the data and applications local, but managing them through a centrally
controlled virtualized storage platform.
“The combination of Microsoft System Center Operations Manager and
StorMagic’s management pack allows remote storage infrastructure
monitoring to be centralized for virtual environments,” said Stephen
Foskett, writer and speaker on storage and server virtualization. “It’s
a perfect partnership because the combination of these two solutions is
highly scalable and capable of supporting environments with thousands of
virtual storage appliances located at multiple distributed locations.”
Hans O'Sullivan, CEO of StorMagic said: “StorMagic is focused on solving
key business problems for its clients, enabling high availability across
their sites with less hardware and less operating expense than
traditional storage solutions. This management pack further simplifies
monitoring of SvSAN in Microsoft-based environments for customers and is
a key part of our strategy to deliver affordable, easy to support
alternatives to expensive SANs in virtual server environments."
