Educational Institutions Benefit from DataCore Storage Virtualization

Virtualization: Have You Overlooked Storage?

If you’re a part of a college, university, public school system, school district or some other educational entity, you are no doubt under increased pressure to save money wherever possible. Server and desktop virtualization have many cost-saving benefits, as you well know, but they leave out one very important piece: your storage. DataCore completes the virtualization picture and enables you to save money by avoiding ‘rip-and-replace’ of existing storage assets and gaining the best utilization and performance of current equipment; while addressing that critical need for keeping your data highly available.

Moreover, because DataCore cares about education and sees it as a strategic investment for the future, we provide qualified academic institutions with access to special promotional offers and extra discounts on virtualization software packages. Contact your trusted solution provider for details (Don't have a solution provider? Call us or email us at info@datacore.com, we can help you find one).

Educational institutions of all sizes are embracing the DataCore software-based approach to storage virtualization in order to enable them to overcome storage-related funding roadblocks, downtime and performance issues. Why not join their ranks?

DataCore Solutions help Education users:

  • Avoid risks – By preventing storage from becoming a major source of disruptions or a single point of failure.
  • Boost Productivity – By speeding up responses (accelerating disk read/write performance by a factor of 2 to 3 times) while eliminating storage-related downtime.
  • Contain Costs – By taking advantage of existing drives/arrays and lower cost devices in a SAN to significantly reduce capital expenditures. DataCore enables customers to optimize their utilization rates (typically from 40% to over 80%) and defer spending on capacity expansion because they offer SAN-wide thin provisioning, pooling and low-impact snapshots.
  • Protect Investments – By maintaining the same SAN-wide functions across multiple generations of hardware devices and manufacturers. This also enables the movement of DataCore’s solutions to faster, higher performance platforms when desired – in order to increase performance, scalability and overall value.
