Case Study: Leading Food Services and Facilities Management Company doubles datacenter performance and simplifies infrastructure with StorMagic SvSAN

Food Services & Facilities Management Company Relies on StorMagic SvSAN for Simplified, High Performing Hyperconverged IT Infrastructure

Leading Food Services and Facilities Management Company, a multinational serving about 100 million customers, faced aging IT at its Italy subsidiary: two compute nodes and a physical SAN that delivered poor performance and reliability and was at end-of-life. Seeking to virtualize the environment and ensure high availability, the company evaluated options and selected StorMagic’s SvSAN as its hyperconverged solution.

StorMagic deployed a two-node SvSAN cluster on Huawei servers with VMware vSphere, providing mirrored iSCSI storage to six external VMware nodes over a 10Gb network, eliminating the physical SAN and converging compute and storage onto commodity servers. The deployment simplified day-to-day management, reduced overall IT spend, increased resiliency, and delivered a measurable 100% improvement in overall performance.
