"High availability was what we needed and high availability is what we got. Sure, we have realized other benefits in the process, including greatly enhanced performance and capacity management, along with the benefit of true hardware independence. But uptime was first-and-foremost and we got that through the DataCore’s storage hypervisor.”

"By virtue of DataCore’s storage hypervisors being software-based, we have realized high availability that is practical. Storage virtualization has given us something far better than what we had as far as data protection goes. And its benefits extend well beyond what we achieved through server virtualization alone."

“With SANsymphony-V in a remote location we gain peace-of-mind. We can shut everything down, leave the office and go home, knowing full-well that our attorneys and other employees can fire up a computer or smart phone from wherever they might be, access the Citrix server and keep working remotely."

“When a staff member clicks on a file that is effectively 50 miles away, it is on their desktop immediately. This is a change end user notice; the positive difference virtualization makes from a performance perspective. And it’s not a result of the ESX servers – it’s being served up from storage powered by SANsymphony-V.”

“The gains we have achieved by deploying DataCore technology to virtualize storage resources include increased reliability, performance, and peace-of-mind for all of us. We also benefit from centralized management, from being able to consolidate servers, as well as less refresh of hardware. Using SANsymphony-V for storage virtualization has improved the utilization of the firm’s existing hardware one-hundred times over.”

“Deploying storage hypervisors means we’re not refreshing hardware anymore, and that translates into tangible savings. Also, I will not need to refresh the Dell 610’s any time soon, which offers some real savings. In fact, as soon as I take the Exchange server off a physical box and virtualize that, I will have a Dell R710 server left-over which I might use to run my Veeam back-up software. This infrastructure constantly gives us nice surprises.”

“We come into contact with people from much larger law firms, organizations with bleeding-edge systems, and they are envious of our virtualization infrastructure. They learn about our high availability, the centralized management, performance - even across a Layer 2 transport - and they are amazed at the benefits DataCore’s SANsymphony-V storage hypervisor has brought. Add to this all the savings and investment protection from not refreshing hardware anymore and it’s clear we made the right choice.”
