StorMagic, a developer of storage management software, has announced that Weiss Group, a source for unbiased market commentary and global investment information, has selected StorMagic SAN software designed specifically for the SMB market to manage its archived and backup data.
After a user-friendly interface guided him through the software installation, Santillo found that he only needed basic networking skills and fundamental TCP/IP knowledge to assign the IP address to the StorMagic storage appliance in order to operate on Weiss Group's iSCSI SAN. Using StorMagic's transparent data migration software, Weiss Group was able to migrate data to the StorMagic storage servers over its iSCSI SAN without unexpected application outages. The StorMagic software leverages the native Windows software for its inherent networking features and the Intel server's RAID controller for data availability.
Weiss Group expects to realize even greater benefits from StorMagic's SM series software in the future. Currently, the company is preparing its server environment from the introduction of server virtualization and a virtual desktop infrastructure. By using StorMagic in conjunction with its iSCSI SANs, it can cost-effectively provide storage for these systems using their Ethernet network.
