Building a homelab begins with equal parts excitement and ambition. Every freshly unpacked homelab server feels like a ticket to a personal datacenter sandbox; visions of pristine dashboards and automated builds dance in your head. Reality arrives quickly. What you plan to learn often gets overshadowed by what surprises you: a finicky NIC, a hidden power brownout, or an undocumented [...]
Software-defined storage (SDS) is a form of storage virtualization. It significantly improves the simplicity and flexibility of data storage management by introducing a software layer, independent from the physical storage hardware (i.e. disks and SSDs).
A homelab is more than just a place to tinker. It's where IT professionals build real-world skills, test new ideas, and simulate infrastructure challenges in a safe, flexible environment. Whether you're exploring virtualization, learning how to manage data storage, or preparing for edge deployments, a homelab is one of the most valuable tools you can have. In this guide, we'll [...]
For many IT professionals, the homelab is where curiosity turns into capability. It’s a place to test ideas, troubleshoot new technologies, and build confidence before putting those skills into production. While it might start with a repurposed desktop and a few virtual machines, a homelab can evolve into a powerful simulation environment that mirrors the infrastructure challenges and projects found [...]

Server virtualization divides a single physical server into multiple virtual ones, each running its own operating system and applications. This means different operating systems and applications can run on a single physical server because it has been divided. Put simply, it’s a physical server split into virtual parts. With server virtualization, a single physical server can host lots of virtual [...]

This white paper discusses a typical edge site’s requirements and identifies the challenges and pain points that are common in these environments. Combining the best in class solutions of Microsoft Server 2012 and...
Eliminating application downtime for distributed enterprise One of the greatest challenges for multi-site organizations is to ensure the uptime and availability of business-critical applications in edge or remote environments where IT infrastructure is limited. This becomes even more challenging as organizations strive to reduce capital and operating expense. This is now achievable through combining the leading, software-defined storage solution [...]
The 'Edge in a Box' from StorMagic and Schneider Electric There are many advantages to edge locations, remote and branch offices, and small datacenters processing data onsite. These include reduced latency that enables ‘smart processes’ using IoT processors, as well as a low cost and easy to manage method of running mission critical applications. To do so effectively requires [...]
Industry-leading innovation, performance and reliability. StorMagic SvSAN and HPE ProLiant make virtualized storage simple.
Software-defined storage (SDS) solutions have come a long way in recent times and branched into areas that were previously thought impossible. IT best practice has always been about eliminating single points of failure. Back in the late 20th century, companies ran their software, applications and services on bare-metal servers which only had enough CPU to run one application at a [...]
Harness the edge and learn how StorMagic SvSAN works with the HPE Edgeline range in this SvSAN & Edgeline Solution Brief.
Introduction Computing and storage resources are moving ever closer to where data is generated, a trend that is being driven by demands for faster, more flexible processing of data. Organizations are discovering that traditional solutions weren’t designed for these new demands and are therefore seeking out more suitable alternatives. Solutions built for the edge need to be powerful and [...]
Aging SANs put your business at risk Is your SAN getting old? Is the maintenance becoming increasingly expensive and time-consuming? Has it failed recently? Are you running out of much-needed capacity? If the answer to any of the above questions is ‘yes’, then perhaps you’re already looking into replacing your old SAN with a newer model. But, the best decision [...]
