Cloud and managed services adoption is increasing significantly worldwide. Without CAPEX constraints and onsite management overheads, many organizations are shifting towards offering IT services as hosted and managed pay-per-use models.
Regardless of the type of services being provided (SaaS, IaaS, BaaS, DRaaS, STaaS, or any managed service) the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or the Managed Service Provider (MSP) needs to ensure a scalable and resilient data storage infrastructure to be able to meet availability, performance, security, and other SLAs. Additionally, to manage the increasing data growth, service providers must efficiently optimize resources and operate a cost-efficient storage infrastructure that can scale capacity up or down on-demand to meet customer needs and business objectives.

Flexible and Cost-Effective Licensing Model for Service Providers
DataCore offers a metered consumption-based licensing model which is based on actual capacity usage per month. Should your customers’ storage consumption decrease, your license fees will reduce correspondingly*. This adaptability to actual capacity consumption (and NOT what was allocated or reserved), paired with a very attractive price/TB/month (which includes 24×7 support and other services), make it a pay-as-you-grow licensing structure optimized for service providers. You can benefit from a lower price/TB/month when your business grows and your customers consume and pay for more storage capacity.
- Affordable licensing with exclusive and attractive service provider price list
- Only pay for what you use: Lower consumption, lower costs
- Unlimited scalability to start small and grow without constraints
- Offer SLAs that matter to your business and expand with additional services for your customers
*Note: The CSP program is designed with flexible capacity-based licensing and competitive pricing for service providers and starts with minimum capacity licensing tiers for both SANsymphony and Swarm. Contact DataCore to get access to the full service provider price list and view all the licensing tiers and corresponding pricing.
Compelling Value and Economics
You can generate the highest margin from current and future assets by partnering with DataCore. Through optimizing resource allocation and balancing load, you can ensure maximum usage of existing resources before investing in capacity expansion.
Software-Defined Storage delivers ultimate flexibility in how your storage and server hardware can be interchanged easily across generations of equipment and different suppliers based on your custom requirements – cost, performance, support, and so on.
