The edge is the new cloud in distributed cloud computing. Business strategies bring applications to the cloud and hyperscaler service providers. However, modern-day business delivery models require highly reliable and resilient edge computing and storage for enterprises and small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Use cases can span ten thousand global retail locations, one thousand branch offices, one hundred warehouses, or five to ten SMB locations.
Innovations in highly available hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) solutions are emerging, and lower-cost virtualization alternatives are becoming available, partly due to disruption from VMware’s acquisition. These solutions offer reliable, cost-effective remote management features and create market opportunities for new entrants and existing players to fill the growing need for virtualized HCI solutions. The requirements for high availability, data protection and recovery, security, low deployment and operational costs, and premium vendor support are common in HCI deployments by enterprises and SMBs.
In this Futurum research paper, Equipping Modern IT Infrastructure Strategies with StorMagic SvHCI for Enterprise Edge and SMBs we assess the market challenges driving the demand for new enterprise edge HCI platforms, strategies to meet current and future business demands, and responses by vendors in the HCI space, such as StorMagic. This report showcases our analyst guidance to organizations seeking lower-cost alternatives, explores considerations for leveraging HCI, and examines StorMagic’s recent HCI offering, which is built upon the strengths of their SvSAN platform and explores considerations for leveraging HCI platforms at the edge.
