FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida – March 9, 2010 – DataCore Software today announced that Programmer’s Paradise, a VAR 500 reseller, has chosen DataCore’s SANmelody™ storage virtualization software solution as its Best Selling product in the Virtualization-Storage Management category – honoring the SAN virtualization solution with a “Riding the Crest 2009 Award”. Programmer’s Paradise, and its TechXtend value-added solutions unit, sells software and hardware solutions and supporting technical services for workstations, servers, storage and networks.
“DataCore’s software-based storage virtualization solutions optimize storage utilization and management through the power of virtualization,” explains Shawn Giordano, Vice President of Sales, Programmer’s Paradise. “DataCore(tm) virtualization software does for storage what VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix XenServer do in terms of virtualizing servers. DataCore extends the useful life of storage assets and offers our customers a compelling and cost-effective means to achieve high-availability, disaster recovery, faster performance and full utilization.”
With DataCore storage virtualization software, customers gain storage hardware flexibility and improved disk space utilization. Importantly, DataCore users do not have to spend a lot of time and money ripping out and replacing perfectly good disks to set up a shared storage infrastructure. DataCore Software enables solution providers to easily repurpose their customers’ existing hardware into a highly-available storage network that supports live migration and remote site disaster recovery (DR) – perfectly complementing their virtual servers and desktops with virtualized storage.
“We are excited to see resellers, distributors and service providers alike recognize that virtualization projects are 3 dimensional,” comments Bill Ferara, director of Americas Channel Sales, DataCore Software. “Awards like this go a long way to dispelling the myth that somehow servers and desktops are the more important part of the virtualization equation. Server and desktop virtualization software address only two dimensions of virtualization. DataCore storage virtualization software covers the 3rd dimension.”
While servers and desktops deserve much attention, disks represent a constant source of upheaval. DataCore lets you provision, share, reconfigure, migrate, replicate, expand and upgrade storage without slowdowns or downtime. It eliminates storage-related disruptions, performance bottlenecks and funding roadblocks that jeopardize virtualization projects.
