Deployment Guide
StorMagic SvSAN on VMware vSphere 
6.0 with Cisco UCS C240 M4
April 2016
Introduction
Virtualization in today’s computer infrastructure requires storage that is 
accessible to multiple servers simultaneously. Concurrently shared storage 
supports capabilities such as VMware vMotion migration, high availability, 
and replication, which provide stability and application availability. Large 
data centers typically meet these requirements through the use of large-
scale SAN devices. Frequently, these solutions do not address the needs 
of smaller deployment models, such as remote-office and branch-office 
(ROBO) deployments, because the SAN is costly to extend and is burdened 
by latency. 
One of the greatest challenges for multisite organizations is ensuring the 
uptime and availability of business-critical applications in distributed IT 
environments. This goal becomes even more challenging as organizations 
strive to reduce capital expenditures and operating expenses. 
This challenge now can be addressed by combining the leading, software-
defined storage solution from StorMagic with the latest in server technology 
from Cisco. 
This deployment guide provides an integrated infrastructure solution that 
supports shared storage at remote data centers, using capacity attached 
directly to the computing layer for a self-contained application-delivery 
platform. StorMagic SvSAN in combination with Cisco UCS® C-Series Rack 
Servers provides computing, networking, and storage resources in even the 
most remote locations. Using a proven and verified architecture, the solution 
lets you reliably deploy computing and storage support for hundreds of virtual 
desktops and the necessary infrastructure for virtual machines.
This joint solution allows edge enterprises to deploy data storage 
infrastructure that supports their multiple-site environments.
This document provides a reference architecture and deployment guide for 
StorMagic SvSAN on VMware vSphere 6.0 running in a Cisco UCS C240 
M4 Rack Server environment.
Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers
Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers (Figure 1) are designed for both 
performance and expandability. They deliver unified computing in an 
industry-standard form factor to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and 
increase agility. Cisco offers multiple server models, each with different 
processing power, memory capacity, I/O, and internal storage capacities to 
address a wide variety of workload challenges.
