"Storage virtualization has evolved from the status of a mere concept to that of a genuine strategic approach towards the optimal exploitation of storage capacity," said François Morel, general manager of StorageTek France. "SANsymphony lets our clients manage their storage efficiently by the use of virtual technology to radically improve their ROI."

Without virtualization, a high percentage of data storage capacity is underutilized and so constitutes lost resources. SANsymphony works in conjunction with StorageTek products to provide a proven SAN solution, allowing companies to benefit from all the advantages linked to virtualization: performance enhancement, scalability and flexibility, all at an affordable price. After three years of deployment, the SANsymphony open storage network platform now offers new options that can support the management of large volumes of data.

"DataCore recognizes the importance of creating partnerships with major solution providers, such as StorageTek," stated Francis Glorie, vice president of DataCore's European Operations. "SANsymphony, working together with StorageTek's disk storage sub-systems, will offer companies a storage solution that lets them benefit from complete flexibility, with guaranteed return on investment."
