SANsymphony-V for VDI

DataCore makes the economics of storage work for VDI. The SANsymphony-V storage hypervisor is specifically designed to handle the unique challenges of VDI environments:

• Avoids the need to ‘rip and replace’ storage systems in order to meet performance objectives and maintain uptime for business continuity.
• Breaks the need to overbuild your VDI storage to accommodates peak workloads for boot, login, and application storms. 
• Scales and automates snapshot/clone technology to provision hundreds and thousands of desktops in seconds and minutes versus hours and days with minimal consumption of storage capacity.
• Delivers always-on access and fast response time performance; the critical ‘must-haves’ to overall VDI end-user satisfaction.
