Stonefly SCVM™ (Storage Concentrator Virtual Machine)

Money tight?  Let us show you how we can help.  Gain the benefits of an IP SAN without requiring a physical SAN infrastructure


The StoneFly SCVM Virtual IP SAN Software Appliance creates a virtual IPSAN using the existing resources of your virtual server. It is a Virtual IP SAN appliance Software for VMWare or Hyper-V environments. It provides an advanced, fully featured iSCSI SAN/Storage within a VMWare or Hyper-V 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 or Hyper-V 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”.

If you are looking for all the functionality of an IPSAN, but lack of budget and space holding you off from buying an external SAN, StoneFly SCVM is the product you want.

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 or Hyper-V 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 or Hyper-V server, the SCVM gives the consolidation of server and storage into one platform resulting in saving in space, power, cooling and overall management.
