Are you troubled by storage management nightmares? Whether you are losing sleep over managing different storage tiers for hot, warm and cold data, or finding it hard to address disruptions and slowdowns, you can now rest easy with a truly software-defined storage solution.

DataCore SANsymphony enables you to centrally automate and manage capacity provisioning and data placement across your diverse storage environment (any SAN, DAS, HCI, or JBOD). Powered by a block-level storage virtualization technology and a rich set of data services, SANsymphony gives ultimate flexibility to control how you want to store and protect your data.

  • Break down silos by pooling capacity across unlike storage systems
  • Control data placement and ensure your fastest storage only stores your most critical data
  • Meet your business continuity and disaster recovery objectives
  • Boost performance of your storage gear to handle demanding workloads
  • Expand/refresh hardware and migrate data without any disruption

DataCore is definitely one of the main reasons our mission-critical apps run faster; the SANsymphony caching and performance acceleration capabilities play a vital role. Moreover, DataCore makes great use of the SSDs to further boost performance.

Lamar Nicholson, Storage and Virtual Environment Architect NASA

The risk reduction that we have attained because we can replicate volumes instantaneously to both the primary and secondary sites has been of enormous value to us. We sleep a little better at night knowing we don’t have all our eggs in one basket.

Kevin Schmidt, Senior Network Engineer Thorntons, Inc.

DataCore’s scalability in terms of capacity, performance and functionality gives us the flexibility we need to respond to further challenges, whether it is on the ships or for the entire fleet.

Features

  • Balance capacity and load uniformly across mixed hardware vendors and models
  • Eliminate single point of failure as synchronous mirroring guarantees zero-touch, zero-failover RPO and RTO
    View illustration
  • Enhance performance with RAM caching, parallel I/O processing, and auto-tiering
  • Automate data recovery through backups (integration with back-up tools), snapshots and continuous data protection
  • Thin-provision capacity to devices and avoid space wastage through pre-allocation and over-commitment
  • Achieve remote site redundancy with asynchronous replication, automatic failover, resynchronization, and failback
    View illustration
  • Automate data tiering across storage classes based on hot, warm, or cold data access
  • Leverage the power of machine learning analytics to predict and prevent storage bottlenecks*
