UK's Leading Business Services Aggregator Utilizes DataCore SANsymphony To Manage SANs Remotely

7 GLOBAL uses industry's only software-based SAN management solution, for its mission critical data replication and virtualization service CoreStore

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. (June 14, 2001) -- DataCore™ Software, an innovator in storage area networking software, today announced that 7 GLOBAL has joined its rapidly expanding European customer base. 7 GLOBAL (7) is the UK's first Business Services Aggregator, a new breed of service provider that integrates best-of-breed business services from multiple Application Service Providers (ASPs) into a single unified service. 7 selected DataCore Software's SANsymphony(tm) to significantly enhance its data management service - CoreStore - which it provides to Independent Software Vendors and enterprise-scale customers.

"7's success depends on providing our clients with reliable access to critical business information," commented Graham Crich, Senior VP of Strategic Partnerships, 7 GLOBAL. "We face the need to add, upgrade and replicate storage without disrupting our clients business-critical applications and data. SANsymphony enhances CoreStore, our Storage Provision Service, by providing extremely high performance continual access to data while also driving down the costs associated with managing our multi-vendor storage resources."

In addition to its core SAN management excellence, SANsymphony 4.0 includes a powerful Asynchronous Internet Mirroring (AIM) option that improves disaster recovery capabilities by allowing organizations to cost-effectively replicate information to off-site locations over their existing IP (Internet Protocol) infrastructure. 7, for example, uses SANsymphony 4.0 as a robust platform to offer sophisticated IT services to its customers, based on these virtualization capabilities.

SANsymphony enables 7 GLOBAL to ensure total data management and security for its customers by providing remote data replication between the customer site and 7's secure location. The primary or secondary data is hosted at 7 GLOBAL, while a remote copy can be managed at the customer's site. SANsymphony allows real time mirrored copies of customer data to also be managed locally providing fault tolerant access to data for customer applications.

"7 GLOBAL's business model relies upon flawless data availability, security, replication, backup and recovery; this is mission critical to their success," confirmed Tony Probert, Regional Sales Director Northern Europe, DataCore Software. He continued, "SANsymphony is ideally suited to 7, as it provides an open systems, scalable approach which that not only meets these strategic needs but also utilizes their clients' legacy systems, but also seamlessly integrates differing storage devices from various vendors, further maximizing return on investment."
