Deployment Guide
StorMagic SvSAN on VMware  
vSphere 6.0 with Cisco UCS 
Mini Deployment Guide
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. 
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® Mini 
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 an edge enterprise to deploy data storage 
infrastructure that supports its multiple-site environment.
This document provides a reference architecture and deployment guide 
for StorMagic SvSAN on VMware vSphere 6.0 running in a Cisco UCS 
Mini environment.
