Since its introduction in 2011, SANsymphony-V has been hailed for its ability to automatically tier and manage enterprise-wide storage across often incompatible devices from multiple suppliers. This has made it the ideal solution to significantly improve the performance of Tier-1 business critical applications (VDI, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Exchange and SharePoint) normally reserved for high-performance drives, such as solid state disks (SSD) and flash. DataCore enhances the availability and maximizes the utilization of distributed investments in flash and SSD, as well as conventional hard disk drives and mid-range to high-end storage systems.
SANsymphony-V pools, thin provisions, replicates, continuously protects and caches storage resources throughout an entire infrastructure. The centrally managed, closely integrated functions operate uniformly over the broad range of purpose-built storage equipment required to best balance business objectives against budget constraints. The solution spans on-premise and cloud-resident assets, serving the needs of mixed workloads running on physical or virtual machines. The SANsymphony-V storage virtualization platform also integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Windows Server 2012, enabling enterprises to easily monitor and manage the diverse storage assets virtualized by SANsymphony-V alongside other facets of their data center.
The Microsoft Partner of the Year Awards recognize Microsoft partners that have developed and delivered exceptional Microsoft-based solutions during the past year.
