DataCore Software Selected as One of Computerworld's "Top 100 Emerging Companies to Watch in 2001"
Storage Virtualization Innovator Recognized For Its Enterprise-Class Solution
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. (Dec. 19, 2000) DataCore Software Corporation, a leader in storage virtualization software, just received recognition as an "Emerging Company for 2001" from Computerworld, the technology weekly. Less than a year after launching its premier storage area networking solution, DataCore has been named to the highly selective list, which singles out the top 100 companies offering new enterprise technology solutions.
"DataCore, with its hardware independent solution, pioneered storage virtualization," said Duncan McCallum, a general partner of OneLiberty Ventures and a well- known storage networking industry investor who was quoted in an accompanying article in Computerworld. "DataCore's SANsymphony software represents a significant industry advance in the way customers manage dramatically changing storage environments."
DataCore's flagship software solution, SANsymphony, lets IT professionals easily manage the exploding demand for increased data storage. The first solution of its kind, SANsymphony allows storage to be added without disruption to online application servers. SANsymphony creates 'virtualized pools' from new and existing storage resources, making all storage assets instantly available across the SAN, with a 'drag-and-drop' interface that provides capacity on-demand.
SANsymphony is the only SAN management software solution that's truly 'vendor-agnostic.' It works across the spectrum of storage and computer systems, protecting companies' multi- million dollar investments in IT storage architectures while giving them a growth path to meet their needs for rapid storage expansion.
"This is a major win for DataCore - it represents industry recognition of our powerful technology and leadership in one of the most exciting IT markets around," said George Teixeira, president and CEO of DataCore. "Our solution resonates with Computerworld's readers, who know first-hand the challenges of managing corporate data; by simplifying this task, we help customers improve the ROI they achieve from their data storage investments."
The Computerworld ranking is considered a key endorsement by an authoritative and independent resource of IT managers. While highlighting emerging technologies with significant promise, the list is also known for selecting companies whose offerings are truly enterprise-class.
The judges, who include both editors and IT experts, looked for innovative companies that provide clear value to corporate IT operations in Fortune 1,000 companies, address the problems and challenges IT managers face, present a new and creative approach to an IT issue, and compete in a relatively new or emerging market. Judges also examined companies' ability to successfully expand, based on revenue growth, funding and a strong management team.
