Just wanted to give everyone who saw my prior blog post from Tech Field Day’s recent Edge Field Day #2 gathering some interesting news about one of our presenters, StorMagic. They’ve recently made public their new tool called Edge Control that’s a reasonably-priced and simple tool for managing and configuring storage and hardware at the far edges of an edge computing environment.
We saw a brief demo of Edge Control back at EFD2 a few weeks back. It’s got a simple and clean front end that lets you quickly identify all the storage devices, VMs, and other hardware within your edge computing universe and list them by IP address, component name, or just about any other meaningful attribute.
It’s also easy to configure an individual component as well as initiate updates of the component’s firmware – something that is normally a time-consuming, error-prone, and mindless task. What impressed me most about what we briefly saw was the simplicity:
The tasks we typically need to accomplish when managing an edge computing environment don’t necessarily need a complex UI as long as it satisfies the immediate needs at hand.
The team at StorMagic have some brief videos of what they presented to us at EFD #2, so have a look-see; it might be the reasonably-price solution you’ve been looking for.
