Hivecell HCI With StorMagic SvSAN Edge-as-a-Service Solution to Deliver Edge Computing on Enterprise Scale

StorMagic, Inc. announced with Hivecell, the edge-as-a-service company, the launch of Hivecell HCI with StorMagic SvSAN, a complet edge-as-a-service solution to deliver edge computing on an enterprise scale.

The two organizations committed to solving end users’ challenges at the edge, have partnered to deliver this joint solution. Some of the challenges Hivecell HCI addresses include deploying, managing and maintaining hundreds or thousands of sites, the lack of technical staff onsite, limited IT infrastructure (data closets, power and cooling, bandwidth) and the costly and time-consuming constraints that accompany upgrading and expanding systems and software at the edge.

Through a complete edge-as-a-service solution, the two firms provide Intel processing and highly available storage to deliver the performance and uptime customers require for running edge applications. Centralized monitoring, management, updates and upgrades are provided as-a-service, eliminating Capex and reducing Opex. Hivecell HCI eliminates the need for technical staff to install or maintain hardware and there are no special requirements for power, cooling or networking.

“StorMagic software solutions are simple, robust, flexible and always cost-effective, attributes that enable us to better address pain points that our end users face at the edge,” said Brian Grainger, president, StorMagic, (US), chief revenue officer and board member. “Together with Hivecell and Intel, we’re proud to deliver a solution that eliminates the need for a large technical staff to install or maintain, while still delivering 100% uptime for the mission critical edge site. Customers can easily implement, run and scale edge sites from a few to thousands without the heavy IT infrastructure often needed to maintain the hardware.”

Deploying and upgrading software is often a key challenge for edge environments, which is why Hivecell enables 3 different modes for customer software deployment: cloud-based, enterprise and disconnected. Hivecell HCI with SvSAN and Intel provides a future-proofed, solution that can be deployed and running with a click.

“Hivecell’s capability to process data in real time can make a tremendous difference in a company’s ability to make quick, yet informed, decisions and avert pauses in production,” said Jeffrey Ricker, co-founder and CEO, Hivecell. “It’s becoming clear that edge computing is the future for data processing and we are thrilled to partner with StorMagic and Intel to offer a fully complete, edge-as-a-service platform with a high availability storage solution that doesn’t require buying or maintaining software or hardware and can be installed with no training.”

As the world becomes increasingly more digitized and connected, more data is produced, with 50% of all new data being generated at the edge largely thanks to the rise in IoT devices. Use cases for this joint solution include ruggedized environments, retail, supply chain, oil and gas, manufacturing, healthcare, mining, shipping and utilities.
