Feature Packed Bundles
A single server DataCore SAN is value-packed and can thin provision storage capacity, create storage domains, control Quality of Service (QoS), migrate data via SANmotion, accelerate storage performance, and create high-speed snapshots for fast disk backup and recovery. SANsymphony also supports both fibre channel and iSCSI connectivity, Scalable N+1 high-availablity configurations and 'Hot Swap' Thin Provisioning storage pools. For high-availability (failback/failover) business continuity and disaster recovery solutions, users would buy two or more (N+1) feature-packed bundles. For remote site disaster recovery, users can buy an add-on feature-packed bundle for the remote site or for a new installation, users would typically buy two or more for the primary location and one or more for the remote site. Either approach provides cost effective data protection and improves business uptime for the many systems or VMs utilizing the DataCore powered SAN.
Feature Highlights
- Fibre Channel connectivity & iSCSI support for FC SAN, IP networks and LAN based connectivity, Storage Domains, N+1 Scalability, SANmotion and IO Performance Acceleration and caching software is included in the above packaged bundles.
- Auto Thin Provisioning presents very large virtual volumes to applications, but only allocates disk blocks dynamically on writes as the application consumes it. This "just-in-time" storage allocation maximizes disk space utilization and enhances producticity through automation.
- Snapshot provides point-in-time copies of volumes used in backups, testing and other applications.
- Asynchronous IP Mirroring adds the ability to mirror storage to remote disaster recovery sites over IP connections.
- Synchronous Network Mirroring (HA). Deploy multiple SANsymphony-equipped storage domain servers to enable the Auto Failover Failback software for business continuity, and dramatically boost your ability to guard against outages and data loss by keeping redundant copies of data on separate disk drives - you can even spread the drives across the room, between floors, or between buildings!
DataCore Device Independent and Portable Storage Virtualization Solutions
DataCore solutions are hardware and device independent and portable, allowing them to run on your choice of physical or virtual hardware: hardware servers, blade servers or VMs. Users can mix-and-match hardware or VM based storage servers in their deployments. All major VM vendors are supported VMware, Citrix and Microsoft Hyper-V. DataCore not only runs on these VM environments, but the virtual storage from the DataCore SAN can be consolidated and served to MacOS, Netware, Linux, and the many flavors of UNIX and Microsoft providing optimum storage resource utilization.
"Carry-forward" Value Protection Program
DataCore's unique "Carry-forward" Value Protection Program applies to all of DataCores Feature Packed Bundled offerings. With the "Carry-forward" Value Protection Program, users pay only the difference when they add options like
Traveller, upgrade to higher capacity, or upgrade to larger scale SANsymphony platforms at some future time.
Note: Restrictions apply. DataCore solutions are sold through its network of authorized reseller partners. Reseller partner participation in the Carry Forward Value Protection Program may vary.
