StorMagic announced the availability of a new third-party Competitive Intelligence Report from DCIG, LLC titled, "A Comparison of How StorMagic SvSAN and Microsoft Azure Stack HCI Deliver on SMB and Edge Computing Storage Requirements." The research findings will educate enterprise and SMB edge customers as they review two hyperconverged (HCI) solutions that are optimized for small sites.

"Today's HCI solutions are tasked with helping edge and SMB customers that have limited to no IT staff or connectivity onsite, and must adhere to tight budgets to manage their growing data sets," said Jerome Wendt, president and founder, DCIG, LLC. "StorMagic SvSAN's flexibility and affordability make it an excellent choice for edge computing customers who are facing these challenges." 

DCIG's report includes a thorough evaluation of Microsoft Azure Stack HCI and StorMagic SvSAN in a side-by-side comparison of the solutions' attributes, including minimum hardware requirements; software configuration and licensing costs; high availability attributes; and HCI management options.

"DCIG's research is timely as customers everywhere are seeking alternatives to VMware due to the significant price increases they are seeing from Broadcom," said Bruce Kornfeld, chief marketing and product officer, StorMagic. "StorMagic SvSAN is the secret sauce that enables the most lightweight, flexible and affordable HCI solution on the market today, and offers customers an easy migration from VMware, without breaking the bank."
