StorMagic Expands Channel
With Champion Solution Group, Logical Computer Solutions, Dirsec, CIO Solutions and ApplaudIT
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on September 29, 2009 at 2:36 pmStorMagic, developer of iSCSI SAN management software for virtualized server environments, announced that it has expanded its channel network in the United States, Europe, and Australia.
Among the new partners who recently joined the StorMagic worldwide channel network are Champion Solution Group in Fla., Logical Computer Solutions in Ala., Dirsec in Colo., and CIO Solutions in Calif., as well as Bulgaria-based reseller eFellows, and ApplaudIT in Australia.
This growth is in part the result of a very successful promotion run by the company whereby end-users can obtain a promo key for a free copy of the SvSAN software, with no expiration date, and management up to 2 TB, by contacting StorMagic or one of its resellers. This unique offer, along with the enterprise-class features of the SvSAN storage virtual appliance, led to very positive feedback from channel partners, users, and the media.
SvSAN is a storage virtual appliance for VMware environments that provides shared datestores by leveraging the disk drives of VMware ESX. With SvSAN, users can deploy a high-availability shared storage solution for VMware environments for less than £1,300/€1,400/$2,000.
“Our channel partners are vital to our success,” said Mike Stolz, vice president of marketing at StorMagic. “Our partners always tell us that we allow them to not only differentiate their portfolio
s with a unique solution for their customers’ VMware environments, but that we also allow them to bring immediate, ‘hot’ leads to their databases. Once a customer downloads the free, full-feature base software, the solution provider knows that this customer has a strong need for this software and that there is a strong possibility to provide an upgrade in the near future.”
StorMagic SvSAN works with VMware vCenter Server to enable administrators to manage datastores, the StorMagic iSCSI SAN, and the internal RAID controller from a single interface. With capacity starting at 2 TB and scaling to unlimited storage, the SvSAN lets administrators create, manage and provision datastores through a single-operation. Add-on features include active-active mirroring for high-availability and capacity management upgrades.
