    Build 2-node highly available clusters with SvSAN that are extremely lightweight and have low system requirements
  • Flexible options
    Use any x86 server on the Microsoft Hyper-V hardware compatibility list, with any storage configuration, and deploy VMs, containers or both
  • Reliable 2-node HA
    SvSAN’s witness does not sit in the data path, can be sited locally or remote, and provides quorum for up to 1000 SvSAN clusters
  • Cost-effective solution
    Storage capacity-based licensing alongside reduced hardware requirements combine to deliver an extremely affordable solution

StorMagic SvSAN is fully compatible with all versions of Microsoft Hyper-V Server and Windows Server, with rigorous testing and validation carried out on each new release as it becomes available.
