The record

Product: SvHCI is a full-stack HCI platform for x86 servers that combines a hypervisor, virtual networking, virtualized storage, and management.
Technology: The Linux-based appliance uses KVM for its hypervisor, Open vSwitch for virtual networking, and StorMagic SvSAN for storage.
Target users: StorMagic describes SvHCI as purpose-built for SMBs and edge computing environments where simplicity matters.
High availability: HA requires two nodes; the product synchronously mirrors data between them and restarts affected VMs on the surviving node after a failure.
Cluster and VM limits: Clusters support one or two nodes, with up to 50 HA VMs per cluster; a two-node cluster can support up to 100 non-HA VMs.
Management: Each server includes a web-based Virtualization Manager, while Edge Control provides a centralized web console for managing an organization's SvHCI nodes and clusters.
Integrations: SvHCI supports agent-based backup using third-party backup software and documents integrations with Veeam, Acronis, and Commvault.
VM migration: VMs can be imported from VMware with the VMware VM Import Utility or from other platforms in OVF or OVA format; the FAQ says imports must currently be performed one VM at a time.
Security: StorMagic says SvHCI is a closed system despite being based on open-source software, to provide extra security.
Snapshots: VM-level snapshots support crash-consistent recovery, with a maximum of 16 retained snapshots per VM.
External storage limit: SvHCI does not currently support adding external storage, though it can present an iSCSI target for other compute nodes.
Support: The subscription includes StorMagic 24/7 Platinum support for the software stack.
Company: StorMagic Limited lists its registered office in Bristol, United Kingdom.
