Codie Recognition Spotlights SANsymphony's Innovative Approach to Storage Management
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. (Jan. 20, 2004) — DataCore Software, a leading provider of enterprise-class, open storage networking software, today announced that SANsymphony™ has been named as a finalist for Best Storage Software for the Software & Information Industry Association's (SIIA) 19th Annual Codie Awards. The 2004 Codie Awards showcase the software and digital content industry's finest products and services and honor excellence for corporate achievement.
SANsymphony doubles effective disk utilization by pooling disk space from multiple vendors and automatically allocating just enough capacity, just-in-time to needy applications. Automating and consolidating storage control easily increases capacity managed per administrator by tenfold. SANsymphony further enhances productivity by eliminating storage-related downtime through non-disruptive provisioning and affordable business continuance options. With unprecedented performance and broad connectivity, SANsymphony enables three times more users to benefit from existing resources.
"In light of the intense competition this year, to be named a Codie Awards finalist is a tremendous honor and an important achievement. SIIA is proud to recognize DataCore as a true leader in its field," said Ken Wasch, SIIA president.
Over 800 nominations from more than 600 companies were submitted representing a record high for the program. SANsymphony was reviewed by a broad panel of judges from the software and information industry trade press, mainstream technology writers and experts in technology, including Frank Ohlhorst of CRN and Karen Watterson of the Watterson Database Group.
"DataCore Software is honored to add this distinction to our portfolio of awards and recognition," said Bharat Kumar, managing director of worldwide marketing for DataCore. "This award reflects DataCore's commitment to delivering the best open storage networking platform solutions to our customers."
The Codie Awards were established by the Software Publishers Association (SPA), now the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), in 1986 to honor pioneers in the then up-and-coming software industry. It holds the distinction of being the only peer-recognition awards program in the industry, providing a unique opportunity for companies to vie for the praise of their competitors.
