July 2009 by Marc Jacob
StorMagic®, a fast-growing developer of iSCSI SAN management software for virtualised server environments, today announced the availability of a validated configuration for StorMagic SvSAN™ and VMware Infrastructure 3 for ESX 3.5 software on the Intel® Server Board S5520UR. This server configuration was developed jointly by StorMagic and Intel engineers through the Intel® Enabled Server Acceleration Alliance (Intel® ESAA), a collaborative program that streamlines technical certification and validation of Intel-based server products and enables Intel OEMs and channel partners to quickly deliver reliable, high-quality server solutions to their customers.
With the StorMagic SvSAN, IT administrators can turn unused storage capacity into a virtual SAN, benefiting from high-end features of the VMware platform such as VMware VMotionTM, and building a high-availability shared storage solution for less than £1,400/€1,500/$2,000. The StorMagic SvSAN also works with VMware vCenter™ Server to enable administrators to quickly and easily configure and manage the entire virtual environment from a single management console.
