You can find out more about running SvSAN on Dell EMC here. Competitive solutions require one witness for each node, by running one witness for multiple nodes, SvSAN was able to cut TDK’s hardware costs significantly. By replacing this with SvSAN on Dell servers, they were able to create a highly available virtual environment in all of their offices, and remove the threat of split brain by architecting one remote witness for all of the nodes. However, if there was ever a component or power failure on one of the servers there would be downtime until the IT team could fix the problem and then manually restart operations on the cluster.
They had been using 2-server clusters running Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and mirroring data between the two for high availability. In their European sales offices there was a need for a new server solution to keep operations running smoothly. TDK is an electronic components manufacturer leading the world in magnetic technology. Firmware and hardware upgrades are conducted during live production, and the systems have experienced no errors or downtime in more than six years, and counting.
They utilize two Dell PE520 servers with StorMagic SvSAN. 11th Generation Intel Core i7-11800H 16GB DDR4 3200MHz 512GB PCIe M.2 SSD 15.6 FHD (1920 x 1080) 165Hz 3ms with ComfortView Plus NVIDIA GeForce RTX. They achieved this by deploying StorMagic SvSAN across two Dell servers.Īmsterdam Airport Schiphol is a Netherlands based international airport that has a 99.8% required uptime service level requirement (SLA). They needed something that they could manage easily, while keeping costs down.
The Facility of Classics manages its own IT and was in need of a low cost solution that could provide highly available storage across 20 different virtual machines (VMs) to run critical applications. The University of Oxford is a world-renowned university and runs the largest Facility of Classic in the world. Organizations around the world are already running SvSAN on Dell EMC and benefitting from a low-cost virtual SAN solution that enables high availability and is easy to manage. Weve listed the computers which have been approved by most of the academic programs below.
Recently, we announced that StorMagic SvSAN is now available on the Dell Software and Peripherals (S&P) price list, making it easier than ever to deploy the most cost-effective hyperconverged infrastructure solution on the market.
