Case Study: Fitesa Germany GmbH achieves 100% continuous uptime for its 24x7x365 production environment with StorMagic SvSAN

Fitesa Germany GmbH chooses StorMagic SvSAN and achieves 100 percent uptime to support their 24x7x365 live production environment

Fitesa Germany GmbH, a global manufacturer of nonwoven fabrics, needed guaranteed 24x7x365 access to virtualized production applications but was hampered by a single-point-of-failure storage setup (HP BladeCenter with EVA4000). The IT team sought a low‑hardware, budget‑friendly solution that eliminated vendor lock‑in while delivering continuous uptime, and selected StorMagic and its SvSAN virtual SAN product.

StorMagic implemented SvSAN on Dell PowerEdge R720 servers running VMware ESXi in a stretched cluster with centralized WebGUI management and Veeam replication to a third site for disaster recovery. StorMagic’s solution provided automatic failover and delivered 100% continuous uptime for Fitesa’s live production environment, cut storage complexity and hardware needs, and reduced costs (SvSAN is cited as roughly 50% less expensive than traditional physical SANs).
