I work for Rusty Technology and I am a solution architect. Hyperconvergence is something that gives to you some very good economical saving, mainly in the support of the hardware. Because if you buy a physical storage, the cost of service and maintenance contract is very expensive because you pay for each disk drive that is inside of the storage. When you buy a hyperconverged system, you are buying servers and the cost of supporting the server is the same. If you have one for 50 disk drives, the cost is just the same. This is something they are looking for. Normally you have storage for one company, servers for another company. You have no interaction between the parts. They like it very much because we will eliminate the need to have an operator to look for the performance, because the system automatically has a self-adjustment. For example, in the São Paulo state, there is no operator for the system. The system works alone, alone time. The automation is something that they like. The advantage of our software is that we connect with everything. I think that the major problem is where we will introduce the product. If it's a brand new data center, Nutanix is a great solution. But if you are increasing the size of your data center, it's terrible because it's something that you work alone. Nutanix is something that you only work with Nutanix. Never talk with your old infrastructure. There is no connection. The same with Cisco. The same with Visan. I think that our product, StorMagic, has the advantage to be part of the new and the old. The fire department, it's part of the state police of São Paulo. The state police of São Paulo use Visan. The other party uses S-Visan. Our system is working since five years ago. In the same time, they bought the Visan system and they are not using it anymore.

TL;DR

  • Hyperconverged infrastructure delivers significant cost savings on hardware support contracts because server maintenance costs remain flat regardless of disk count, unlike traditional storage arrays.
  • StorMagic's competitive advantage is its ability to integrate with existing infrastructure, while competitors like Nutanix and vSAN require isolated, proprietary environments.
  • A São Paulo state fire department has successfully run StorMagic SvSAN for five years, while abandoning a parallel vSAN deployment purchased at the same time.

Summary

In this partner testimonial, Jelson Ghigonetto, Solution Architect at ROOST Technology, discusses his experience selling StorMagic's hyperconverged infrastructure solutions. He emphasizes the economic advantages of hyperconvergence, particularly the cost savings on hardware support contracts compared to traditional physical storage systems. Ghigonetto highlights StorMagic's key differentiator: its ability to integrate with existing infrastructure, unlike competitors such as Nutanix, Cisco, and VMware vSAN that operate in isolation. He shares a customer success story from São Paulo state's fire department, which has been running StorMagic's SvSAN successfully for five years while a parallel vSAN deployment was abandoned. The testimonial positions StorMagic as the ideal solution for organizations expanding existing data centers rather than building greenfield environments.

2:06 "If it's a brand new data center, Nutanix is a great solution. But if you are increasing the size of your data center, it's terrible because it's something that you work alone."
2:35 "I think that our product, StorMagic, has the advantage to be part of the new and the old."

FAQ

What are the main cost advantages of hyperconverged infrastructure over traditional storage?

With traditional physical storage, support contracts are priced per disk drive, making maintenance expensive. Hyperconverged systems use servers where support costs remain constant whether you have one disk or fifty, delivering significant savings on service and maintenance contracts.

How does StorMagic differ from competitors like Nutanix and vSAN?

StorMagic can integrate with both new and existing infrastructure, while Nutanix, Cisco, and vSAN operate as isolated systems that don't connect with legacy environments. This makes StorMagic ideal for expanding existing data centers rather than greenfield deployments.
