DataCore: The Storage Virtualization Foundation for Total Enterprise Virtualization

DataCore Software is the leading storage virtualization and SAN management software supplier that has deployed thousands of virtual SANs around the world.

DataCore's Software solutions do to storage what VMware does for servers and what Citrix does to desktop access. DataCore software makes storage and SAN infrastructures fault tolerant, flexible and virtual. As the virtual storage layer, it completes a Total Enterprise Virtualization strategy; cost effectively optimizing disk space utilization, accelerating I/O performance, eliminating downtime and allowing for complete hardware independence. For more information, please see the Total Enterprise Virtualization Matrix of Solutions and Benefits.

Total Enterprise Virtualization = Citrix Desktops + VMware Servers + DataCore Storage

DataCore software eliminates high SAN cost as a barrier to obtaining the benefits of server and storage consolidation. Over 85% of VMware server deployments require a SAN for high-availability shared storage. DataCore shortens the sales cycle for these virtual infrastructure deployments. In many cases, server consolidation frees existing servers that can then be repurposed as Powered by DataCore™ Virtual SANs.

DataCore storage virtualization SAN solutions increase flexibility and utilization, while providing a full range of hardware-independent, enterprise-class, storage management and disaster recovery services. With advanced automation, such as thin provisioning that allocates storage as needed where needed, DataCore allows organizations to deliver storage services easily, and to deploy lower cost storage without sacrificing high-end feature/function/performance.

Solutions Provided by DataCore Products

DataCore is a software solution that is hardware independent and provides all the same cost savings and ROI advantages for storage that VMware/Citrix provide for the server and desktop. DataCore adds the 'Storage Server' personality/functionality to standard servers, just as VMware transforms standard servers into VMachine servers.

Powerful DataCore solutions deliver:
  • Dramatically better disk utilization through storage resource pooling, auto provisioning (Virtual Capacity) and tiered storage classes
  • Reduced operational burden by centralizing and automating storage administration across like or dissimilar equipment
  • Slashes planned and unplanned downtime using non-disruptive storage provisioning, replication, and data protection and disaster recovery techniques
  • Enhanced performance, connectivity and productivity allowing customers to support more users with existing resources and personnel
