Brian Grainger Chief Revenue Officer and Member of Board of Directors, StorMagic

StorMagic, Inc., has appointed storage industry executive Brian Grainger as its worldwide chief revenue officer (CRO) and the newest member of its board of directors.

He brings more than 25 years’ experience in storage industry leadership roles with a demonstrated history of building and expanding highly profitable sales organizations into more than 70 countries.
 
“StorMagic is accelerating its edge computing focus by initiating several shifts across the company, including this key appointment of Brian Grainger as CRO and a member of our board,” said Hans O’Sullivan, founder and CEO. “Brian has a proven track record of leading global sales teams and multiplying revenues, and we’re looking forward to his contributions and strategic input as a member of the board.”
 
StorMagic’s industry momentum continues with the company’s first-time inclusion in the November 2018 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Hyperconverged Infrastructure. The report estimates that by 2022, 75% of enterprise-generated data will be created and processed outside the traditional, centralized datacenter or cloud, up from less than 10% in 2018.
 
StorMagic’s SvSAN is a lightweight, SDS solution designed for edge computing environments and small datacenters. These customers typically have limited IT staff and want to reduce cost and complexity by eliminating physical SANs and simplifying their environments. SvSAN makes virtual SANs simple for more than 1,000 customers globally, some with hundreds or thousands of individual sites.
 
“StorMagic SvSAN’s functionality, performance, uptime capability and price point make it the ideal solution for edge computing and small datacenter customers who want easy-to-use solutions,” said Grainger. “Customers will no longer tolerate the complexities inherent in traditional IT solutions-and SvSAN delivers a simple approach to IT at the edge.”
 
His appointment is effective immediately.

He has held storage industry sales leadership positions for more than two decades, most recently with Spectra Logic, where he served as chief sales officer.
