Enterprise-wide protection, performance and connectivity
Historically, storage networks were thought of as strictly data center resources - reserved for a few privileged applications. But how would you like to consolidate storage for the entire enterprise and extend the benefits of high performance and advanced data protection services to even desktop users? This is a compelling justification for storage network investments. You gain centralized control over all storage expansion, enhanced data availability and data protection for users at all levels.
DataCore offers groundbreaking new features that not only enable broad connectivity over widely installed Ethernet and IP networks, but also provide the performance and management tools to handle the job. With our innovative iSCSI support, now any conventional Ethernet LAN-connected system - even a wireless laptop - can partake of the storage pool and still experience surprisingly fast performance rivaling a locally attached disk. At the same time, higher performance iSCSI and mission-critical Fibre Channel connected servers can still utilize the storage resources. (See Interoperability for qualified network connections.) Meanwhile, automation features and Storage Domains ensure that the environment remains secure and manageable and important applications receive plenty of bandwidth and performance.
Improve Performance Across the Board
SANsymphony software leverages its in-band position to provide caching that delivers a network-wide performance boost and significantly enhances application responsiveness. DataCore's caching algorithms bring sizable performance gains to any storage device in the pool, whether it is an uncached disk array or the latest intelligent disk subsystem (see Specifications). To tune performance for particular workloads, SANsymphony's graphical displays provide extensive real-time visuals. Observe I/O rates, cache-hit percentages and other important statistics to maximize response time and throughput.
Scale Performance for the Entire Organization
As the number of storage consumers and performance requirements grow, SANsymphony can scale economically by configuring the underlying commercial hardware platform with faster processors, more memory and more host and storage ports. In addition, each additional storage management node brings a corresponding expansion in aggregate I/O bandwidth and throughput unavailable from any other product at any price.
