Sheetz replaces VMware at more than 830 stores

The two companies have a relationship dating back to 2020, when Sheetz first deployed StorMagic’s SvSAN software as the hyperconverged storage layer with VMware across hundreds of store locations to virtualize critical in-store application. The setup supported mission-critical applications such as payment processing, loyalty programs, kitchen management and store operations.
The new deployment replaces VMware entirely with StorMagic’s integrated SvHCI virtualization stack, simplifying infrastructure while reducing software complexity and operating costs.
By employing existing hardware and managing migrations remotely, Sheetz expects to minimize disruption while standardizing virtualization across its nationwide footprint. StorMagic said the completed platform will provide a highly available infrastructure for business-critical in-store applications while extending the useful life of existing server hardware.
