STORMAGIC FORGES NEW TECHNOLOGY RELATIONSHIP WITH SUPERMICRO
New Partnership to Lead to High-Performance, User-Friendly IP Storage Solutions
Bristol, UK. – 5th June 2008 – StorMagic, a fast-growing developer of iSCSI SAN management software, today announced that it has added a new technology partner to its existing network. As a leading provider of application-optimised, high-performance server solutions, Supermicro became the latest hardware partner for StorMagic; as a result, the two organisations will be able to offer the channel and end users a unique IP storage solution that successfully combines and maximises performance, features, usability and cost.
“When it comes to storage management, more and more small and medium-sized organisations are beginning to demand features that were traditionally the domain of larger enterprises and there is pressure on the industry to provide solutions that strike the most effective balance between technology, usability, and price,” said Mike Stolz, vice president of sales and marketing at StorMagic. “Thanks to our new partnership with Supermicro, we can now tap into a wealth of proven expertise in the server and storage hardware fields, which highly complements the StorMagic track record in the management software industry.”
The new StorMagic – Supermicro relationship will also allow the channel to target the growing number of SMBs, adopting networked storage with a new solution that offers clear benefits to irrefutable issues such as manageability, scalability and reliability.
“With so many products on the market claiming to be optimised for SMBs looking to eliminate complexity from their storage infrastructure, it is easy to see why end users and resellers alike have become disillusioned,” said Dev Tyagi, general manager, Supermicro UK. “As with most technologies, the key is in realising that you cannot have all the enterprise-class characteristics without eliminating simplicity at the management level. By coupling our hardware with StorMagic’s SM™ series of storage management software, we have built a solution from the ground up that is user friendly and yet offers all the features smaller organisations need. In this market, it is all a matter of finding the right balance.”
“Supermicro’s advanced system technology enables StorMagic to offer practical storage solutions with outstanding features,” said Wally Liaw, senior vice president of sales at Supermicro. “With industry-leading power and system efficiency, Supermicro delivers energy-efficient servers that help customers save hundreds of dollars in electrical costs and reduce their total cost of ownership.”
The new joint solution is available this month.
