We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This synchronization is easy with StorMagic, and we can establish availability between servers.""What I found most valuable in StorMagic SvSAN is integration. As a software-defined storage solution, it's also very easy to use and it's the trend in the market today. StorMagic SvSAN also made the customer happy because the customer could use his existing hardware with it. The customer had rack-mounted storage, so he didn't want to purchase a dedicated hardware for storage purposes. He just upgraded his hard disk drives.""The most valuable feature of StorMagic SvSAN is its high availability. We have not had any downtime or data loss. Business continuity is highly important.""StorMagic SvSAN is a very effective solution and the interface is good.""StorMagic SvSAN's best feature is that it is platform agnostic.""It gives zero downtime and it works with two nodes rather than three nodes, unlike other solutions.""It helps us prevent any data loss while working with the failover clusters.""We compared two solutions for this use case, but we went with StorMagic because it had more capabilities than the others. It's also more reliable, especially in production environments that require availability and sustainability."

"It has a huge deduplication ratio for backups of long-term archives.""Veritas Access is user-friendly and the NAS and SAN volumes are valuable.""The product deployment is easy."

More Veritas Access Pros →

Cons
"The only improvement area I can see is their licensing. For example, the memory caching feature is only available in an advanced license. Normally, it's in a standard license. It would be better if they had memory caching features in the product. Some backup features should also be in the product""In the next release, StorMagic SvSAN should include multi-node clusters, which would allow storage spaces to be used more efficiently.""The deployment of StorMagic SvSAN is very small. However, you need some time to do it. It's important to make a test deployment before the real deployment.""In terms of what could be improved in StorMagic SvSAN, I don't have a major issue with it, but its user interface should be more customer-oriented.""There are two features missing: there's no REST API functionality, and there is no date duplication in it.""They should enable data compression deduplication features for the platform.""If we want to want to replicate the VM to the cloud, or off-site, it does not allow it because of asynchronous. There is no option available."

More StorMagic SvSAN Cons →

"They could improve additional fees for the platform's data capacity. It could be more cost-effective.""I would like to see Veritas Access included as an S3 target.""The downtime of Veritas Access could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's fairly cheap when compared to other options. But it can be improved as some features may not be available in the standard license. The vendor positions it as an edge product, so it isn't suitable to compare with VMware vSAN or Nutanix because that's another product altogether."
  • "The pricing of StorMagic SvSAN is fairly good because if you compare it with VMware, it's at a better price. This is an important thing to remember."
  • "The licensing cost is $7,000 per two nodes for two terabytes."
  • "70% cheaper than competitors and provides all the enterprise feature requirements at low cost."
  • "The price of the solution is reasonable. Our budget was two terabytes and the price met our use case well."
  • "The product has good pricing."

Plus, any IT professional can deploy and manage 1,000 sites as easily as 1, with automation tools and scripts.

    SvSAN gives organizations choice and control by allowing configurations of any x86 server models and storage types, even mixed within a cluster, while vSphere, Hyper-V or KVM hypervisors can be used. It is built to perform, with code that eliminates performance bottlenecks and caching features to boost performance and prevent over-provisioning. SvSAN accommodates future growth and technologies too, with support for containers and VMs, and allows compute and storage to be scaled easily and independently.

    SvSAN's additional features help to deliver 100% uptime with synchronous mirroring and no single point of failure, even with poor, unreliable networks, and non-disruptive hardware and software upgrades. Disaster protection is provided with capability for stretched clusters that reduce risk, plus extensive integrations with backup and DR providers and the option to add a third node to clusters. SvSAN also ensures data security with FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption, software RAID options and the elimination of split-brain risk.
