複数の拠点にまたがる複数のベンダープラットフォームの管理は面倒です。各インターフェイスは異なり、それぞれに異なる専門知識が必要です。DataCoreは、単一の管理コンソールを通じて、分散ストレージリソースのプロビジョニング、データ保護、制御、および監視を一元化します。
The graphical user interface (GUI) is highly configurable to accommodate individual preferences and includes guided wizards and workflows to simplify administration. All actions available from the GUI may also be scripted with PowerShell Commandlets to orchestrate workflows with other tools and applications.

Integration with Popular System Management Platforms
DataCore offers deep integration with VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V, as well as their respective systems management tools, vCenter and System Center.
For example, using Virtual Volumes (VVols) defined through DataCore’s VASA provider, VMware administrators can self-provision datastores for virtual machines (VMs) directly from their familiar hypervisor interface. This is possible even for devices in the DataCore pool that don’t natively support VVols and never will.
Similar capabilities to choose the capacity and characteristics of DataCore virtual disks (LUNs) are available from System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). Collaboration with enterprise system monitoring tools such as System Center Operations Manager and Flowster dCenter is also supported.
Automation of Hyperconverged Infrastructure Deployments Under vSphere Management
Simplifying installation for virtualization administrators, providing universal VVol support and providing storage policy control from vSphere while simplifying the ability to add and scale nodes.
Enterprise API Integration and Collaboration
The REST interface has been enhanced with over 200 new operation methods to extend configuration and resource management to the configuration monitoring operations already provided by REST. RESTful interfaces are used by products such as Lenovo XClarity, Cisco Embedded Resource Manager, and Dell OpenManage to manage infrastructure in the enterprise.
