DataCore Software Names NaviStor to Its Preferred SANvantage Authorized Partner Program Resellers

Joint NaviStor-DataCore SAN Implementation at Daytona Beach Community College Received Industry Award

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. (Dec. 10, 2001) — DataCore Software, the leading provider of storage virtualization and networking software announced that NaviStor has joined its fast-growing reseller network as a SANvantage preferred partner. This partnership provides NaviStor with all the support of DataCore's SANvantage storage solutions program, including tools, training and incentives to roll out cost-effective storage area networking (SAN) solutions for its customers.

"DataCore's SANvantage Partner Program and SANsymphony bring the required element -advanced storage networking software - to complement NaviStor's total storage offerings," said Richard Ghastin, president & chief operating officer of Massachusetts-based NaviStor. "Our first joint implementation was a great success - the customer enjoyed immediate positive results, and the prime media outlet for storage professionals recognized it as an example of storage innovation."

NaviStor, an integrator focusing on high availability data access solutions for the enterprise, leverages SANsymphony to offer its customers advanced SAN functionality including heterogeneous host access, snapshot and remote-mirroring. Leveraging SANsymphony's vendor-independent approach to storage virtualization, NaviStor's solutions let network administrators distribute available volumes from network pools of mixed storage devices and serve capacity to any application server as needed. SANsymphony delivers an immediate ROI by freeing staff from time-consuming reconfigurations, eliminating downtime for network administrators and allowing them to get the most out of hardware resources.

"At DataCore, we are making a commitment to the channel by providing our reseller partners like NaviStor with a valuable opportunity to maximize revenues through DataCore's proven technology for managing storage area networks," said Ken Horner, vice president of marketing at DataCore. "NaviStor's solid reputation as a storage-focused solutions provider implementing storage networks makes them an excellent fit for DataCore's SANvantage Authorized Partner Program and SANsymphony."

As a SANvantage Partner, NaviStor receives the benefits of DataCore's extensive support for its SANvantage channel partners. The SANvantage Authorized Partner Program provides tangible business-building programs including training classes, state-of-the-art product strategy summits, dedicated account representatives, financial services, tech support, Web extranet and e-commerce programs.

Earlier this year, NaviStor leveraged DataCore's SANsymphony storage virtualization software to simplify the management of Daytona Beach Community College's (DBCC) growing amount of data by consolidating all of its storage resources into a virtual network storage pool. NaviStor worked with DBCC - which was adding approximately 30 to 50 gigabytes of new storage capacity as often as every 10 weeks to accommodate its four campuses and one training center - to build a distributed storage repository that could easily and non-disruptively be managed from a central console. For this implementation, DBCC earned TechTarget's 1st annual Storage Innovator Awards.
