StorMagic Celebrates 20 Years of Edge Leadership

StorMagic Celebrates Two Decades of Edge Computing Leadership Amid Surging Demand for Virtualization Alternatives

Recording a 36% jump in ARR for FY2026, the company expands its executive team, partner network, and product portfolio to tackle global hardware shortages and hypervisor market shifts.
BRISTOL, England – April 14, 2026 – StorMagic®, a pioneer in simplifying on-site virtualization, marks its 20th anniversary alongside a major financial milestone: a 36% increase in annual recurring revenue (ARR) for the 2026 fiscal year (April 1, 2025 – March 31, 2026). This rapid growth aligns with an industry-wide pivot, as enterprises aggressively seek streamlined, cost-effective alternatives to legacy virtualization platforms. Since its founding in 2006, StorMagic has maintained a singular focus: equipping organizations with flexible, scalable, and highly reliable infrastructure for remote office/branch office (ROBO), distributed edge, and small datacenter environments. Today, that mission has expanded to address modern enterprise hurdles. StorMagic is actively helping IT leaders establish stable post-VMware foundations, maximize the lifespan of their current hardware assets, prepare for emerging AI workloads, and reclaim control over edge virtualization budgets.
“The past year introduced two major catalysts that accelerated the search for new virtualization vendors: the Broadcom acquisition of VMware and persistent hardware supply chain constraints coupled with rising costs. As we head into FY27, our software-defined, hardware-agnostic architecture perfectly positions us to resolve these pain points, delivering the exact same high-value proposition we have championed for twenty years.” — Susan Odle, CEO, StorMagic
