Back to All Partners Stormagic INVITE Networks is a StorMagic edge computing and hyperconverged storage partner, deploying and managing SvSAN and SvHCI environments for enterprise and mid-market organizations in Salt Lake City and Phoenix. INVITE handles the design, virtualization, and ongoing management of edge infrastructure — so remote and branch locations get enterprise-grade uptime without an on-site IT team. TL;DR: INVITE Networks designs, deploys, and manages StorMagic’s SvSAN and SvHCI hyperconverged infrastructure for organizations running remote offices, branch locations, or edge sites that can’t justify a full data center footprint. INVITE handles two-node cluster design, hypervisor integration, and remote monitoring so edge sites get the same uptime as a headquarters data center. This page is for IT directors and VPs of Infrastructure evaluating a StorMagic partner who can own edge deployment and management across many sites. What does INVITE Networks deliver as a StorMagic partner? StorMagic builds virtual SAN and hyperconverged infrastructure software purpose-built for edge and small data center sites. SvSAN mirrors data between two servers to eliminate single points of failure without requiring a third witness server or a large hardware footprint, and SvHCI extends that into a full hyperconverged stack with built-in virtualization. As a StorMagic partner, INVITE designs the two-node cluster architecture for each site, selects and configures the underlying hypervisor — VMware, Hyper-V, or Proxmox — and manages the resulting environment as part of its managed services program. That means a retailer, healthcare system, or manufacturer with dozens of remote sites doesn’t need on-site IT staff at each one to keep local infrastructure running. Why do Salt Lake City and Phoenix organizations choose INVITE for StorMagic edge infrastructure? Organizations with multiple branch, retail, or field locations around Salt Lake City and Phoenix face a common problem: each site needs reliable local compute and storage, but staffing full IT infrastructure at every location isn’t realistic. INVITE gives these organizations a repeatable deployment model — the same validated StorMagic architecture rolled out and remotely managed across every site — instead of a one-off build per location. Example: a Salt Lake City-based manufacturer with 9 regional distribution sites replaced aging single-server setups prone to outages with StorMagic SvSAN two-node clusters at each location, managed remotely by INVITE, eliminating unplanned site downtime tied to hardware failure over the following year. How does INVITE deploy and manage StorMagic as part of its infrastructure services? INVITE treats each StorMagic deployment as a repeatable, centrally managed rollout rather than an isolated project. That includes standardizing cluster configuration across sites, monitoring storage capacity and cluster health remotely, applying SvSAN and SvHCI updates on a schedule, and integrating edge sites into the customer’s broader network and security posture. Because edge and branch locations are frequently the weakest link in a security perimeter, INVITE also aligns StorMagic deployments with its cybersecurity services — encryption, key management, and network segmentation — to keep remote sites from becoming an entry point back into the corporate network. What StorMagic products does INVITE architect and manage? INVITE architects and manages both core StorMagic product lines: SvSAN, a two-node virtual SAN for organizations that want to keep their existing hypervisor and virtualization approach, and SvHCI, StorMagic’s full hyperconverged infrastructure platform with integrated virtualization for sites that want a simpler, single-vendor stack. INVITE sizes each deployment against actual site requirements — from 2TB up to unlimited capacity licensing — and manages the resulting clusters through firmware updates, capacity planning, and lifecycle refreshes, coordinating hardware refreshes across a site portfolio so no single location falls out of support.

Frequently Asked Questions: StorMagic Edge Infrastructure Is INVITE Networks an authorized StorMagic partner? Yes. INVITE Networks partners with StorMagic to design, deploy, and manage SvSAN and SvHCI edge infrastructure for customers in Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and beyond. Can INVITE manage StorMagic deployments across multiple sites without on-site IT staff? Yes — that’s the primary use case. INVITE’s managed services team remotely monitors and manages StorMagic clusters across every site in a customer’s footprint, so branch and edge locations don’t need dedicated on-site IT staff. What’s the difference between SvSAN and SvHCI? SvSAN is a two-node virtual SAN that layers onto an existing hypervisor a customer already uses; SvHCI is StorMagic’s full hyperconverged platform with virtualization built in. INVITE helps customers pick based on whether they want to keep their current hypervisor investment or simplify to a single-vendor stack. How long does it take to deploy StorMagic across multiple sites? Individual site deployments typically take 1 to 2 days once hardware is on-site, and INVITE can roll out a standardized configuration across dozens of locations in phases over several weeks, depending on shipping and site access. Using a single validated architecture across all sites is what keeps per-site deployment time short and predictable.
