104 | Southern Enterprise Awards 2022 Aug22658 StorMagic is solving the world’s edge data problems by helping organisations to store, protect, and use their data at and from the edge. The company’s Forever Data solutions ensure data is always protected and available, no matter the type or location, to provide value anytime, anywhere. StorMagic’s solutions can operate from the harshest edge environments to pristine datacentres. Its storage and security products are flexible, robust, simple to use, and cost-effective, without sacrificing enterprise-class features, for organisations with one to thousands of sites. Founded in 2006, with a vision to simplify the storage and security landscape with solutions that minimise hardware and do not require specialist skills to deploy and manage, StorMagic enables organisations to free themselves from cost and complexity – physical SANs, HSMs (hardware security modules), and other legacy hardware. “StorMagic customers around the world have deployed our solutions in thousands of sites to store, protect, and use their edge data and significantly lower costs,” explains Leigh Grainger, the firm’s Marketing Manager. “Across many industries, including retail stores, factories, hospitals, universities and even wind farms and oil rigs, we are helping organisations tackle the modernisation and optimisation of their IT infrastructure.” More data is being generated at the edge and small datacentres than ever before – especially video footage. Video surveillance keeps growing, camera technology is evolving, and use cases are expanding. To take advantage of these changes, video surveillance solutions must be easy to use and manage, be reliable, secure, and available to provide powerful search capabilities, all while not breaking the budget. “This video needs to be stored, viewed, and searched … possibly forever,” says Leigh. “There’s a strong need for companies to analyse this video data to be able to make better business decisions. Many businesses in the southwest fall into the SME/SMB category, and are looking for lightweight, affordable IT solutions that don’t demand dedicated IT staff.” Unlike its competitors, StorMagic has specifically designed its software for demanding environments where resources, space, and budgets are limited. Leigh elaborates. “Our product strategy is to deliver the most advanced edge data software platform so customers can forever store, protect and use their data at and from the edge. Customers can keep their edge by choosing StorMagic – the Forever Data company.” In order to achieve its unique goals, the firm seeks to hire candidates that embody its core values and who are innovative and passionate about their work. It is of utmost importance that employees are dedicated to the company’s customers and put their needs at the forefront of everything they do, working together to create an atmosphere of understanding, support, and recognition. “Our core values are our principles, and our principles guide how we make decisions, interact with one another, and do business with our partners and customers,” continues Leigh. “These key values centre around being progressive, collaborative, and bold. We understand that the strength of a business lies in its people and their ability to work together.” Recently, StorMagic gained recognition in the Southern Enterprise Awards 2022 and was crowned with the prestigious title of Best Video Surveillance & Data Solutions – South West. The award is testament to the commitment and hard work of the company and its dedicated team. Looking to the future, the firm is committed to continuing to solve its customers’ problems to help them store, protect and use edge data where it’s being created and managed – at small and/or remote sites, with a particular focus on global edge data site management and with further significant investment into the challenges this brings.
