The StoneFly SCVM Virtual IP SAN Software is a Virtual IP SAN appliance Software for VMWare environments. It provides an advanced, fully featured iSCSI SAN/Storage within a VMWare Virtual Machine. You do not need another box for your storage. Create an iSCSI Virtual SAN Appliance along with your Server Virtual Machines within the same Hardware platform. Increase your productivity, simplify your management, and reduce your power and rack space by simply loading an SCVM in a Virtual Machine.
By creating a StoneFly iSCSI Target within a VMWare Virtual Server, StoneFly customers may reallocate existing hardware resources to create business continuity and disaster recovery solution. Using StoneFly synchronous mirroring within the datacenter and distributed campus, or using asynchronous mirroring (replication) between remote facilities, enables StoneFly customers to have an instantaneous recovery, and eliminate loss of access to storage during disasters. This tool enables our customers to lower operational datacenter costs plus provide a quick RTO (Return to Operation) in the event of a local site failure. In essence the SCVM is giving our customers the ability to create their own "DR Site in a box".
These SCVMs can be clustered together to transform your existing server storage into a clustered storage system that is managed as a single SAN. This allows you to use all VMware ESX advanced features that need shared storage. You can use SCVM to provide storage to multiple servers without disruption and you can also increase the storage as needed. Installed easily on any VMware ESX or ESXi server, the SCVM gives the consolidation of server and storage into one platform resulting in saving in space, power, cooling, and overall management.
