Deployment Guide
StorMagic SvSAN on VMware vSphere 
6.0 with Cisco UCS C220 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 
C220 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.
