Quotes
Quotes from Dave Patel, chief operating officer at CTC
“We had a lot of feature and support issues with our previous storage virtualization solution. And it was not very scalable. We were eager to get rid of it.”
“There was nothing else out there on par with DataCore. It has every feature that we needed in a storage hypervisor, with seamless failover and failback. With all the sophistication you could ask for, it’s still easy to deploy and use. As a software-based solution for storage virtualization, we consider DataCore to be unmatched – a fantastic product all around.”
“The non-disruptive migration that DataCore’s pass-through feature gave us was a godsend.”
“DataCore has given us enormous flexibility in terms of hardware independence. Our Dell PowerVault MD 1000 and MD 3000 combination comprise sixty disks in total – thirty on one side and thirty on the other. Beyond that we have a real mix of SATA drives. For us the flexibility has been fantastic: I can throw any disks under the system without any degradation in performance or availability, so we can use all the disk drives we have and choose the best storage hardware deals for expansion.”
“We were fascinated by what DataCore brought to us as a customer and quickly realized that its capabilities are vital to the vertical market we serve – even if the concept of a highly available SAN might be new to our customers. The benefits of software-based storage virtualization are just too numerous for us not to bring DataCore SANsymphony-V into our established client base and into new accounts as we move forward.”
“I reached out. I learned a lot about the product. We became certified as implementation engineers by DataCore. And now CompuTech City is not only a user, but we are a value-added reseller too.”
