DataCore Virtual Server Solutions Brochure "Virtual infrastructures go far beyond simple server consolidation to a new level that with DataCore now incorporates storage and SANs. The combination of VMware and DataCore virtual storage maximizes flexibility, cost savings and our ability to rapidly deploy server and disks." - IT director Ferdinand Glaremin of LWL. Virtual Servers and Virtual Storage Make쟔ense! While there are significant differences between virtual servers and virtual storage, both must work together and both attack exactly the same fundamental problem - making the many work as simply as one. "Virtual servers and virtual storage both seek to optimize the utilization of common resources (CPUs and Disks) and stress the flexibility to readily redeploy these resources (servers and storage) when and where they are needed." Server and Storage Virtualization software technologies allow users to manage more with less. Users can treat their hardware as commodities and utilize that hardware at levels never previously achieved.
DataCore Software Joins VMware as a Technology Software Alliance Partner Read Announcement DataCore optimizes and supports the interoperability of our SANsymphony and SANmelody software with VMware software to enhance performance and functionality and assure the best customer experience. As a Technology Software Alliance partner, DataCore gains additional access to software, technology support and access to VMware software technical consultation and training. "The products work hand-in-hand to accelerate the time it takes to allocate and assign systems and storage," said Kosmas Sch�tz, Director of Information Systems, Munich's Schwabing Hospital. "With a small staff, it makes it possible to manage a lot of user storage and hundreds of servers in our dynamic environment. Together, VMware ESX software and DataCore virtual storage reduce workloads on administrators, ease server provisioning and automate serving disk capacity to users and applications. " VMware and DataCore Test Results TPI Technologies conducts extensive usability and evaluation tests: "We feel that using Vmware and DataCore together simplifies management and significantly lowers the cost of hardware. Allocating and reallocating computer and storage resources to various application workloads produced excellent results. DataCore's product produced a powerful set of management improvements that promise to contribute increased flexibility and more efficient utilization of IT resources to end users." - Jeremy Evans, Chief Storage Engineer, TPI Technologies, Inc.
Virtual Capacity and Storage Virtualization "The current manual approaches for provisioning storage often require hours not seconds to create volumes and make them available to an application or an end user. Many of the newer virtualization products on the market require users to lock in to a specific hardware vendor's 'solution set' and concerns remain over whose hardware can be included in the hardware-based virtualization scheme.잻ataCore's approach is superior. I am hard pressed to think of any other storage software vendor who offers anything close in terms of giving users so much choice on which vendor's disks and hardware to use," says Jon William Toigo, renowned storage analyst and author, IT consumer advocate and CEO of Toigo Partners International in Tampa Bay, FL.

You now can defeat the 'running out of space' downtime problem and avoid the 'guesswork' cost of over buying storage. This innovation truly automates the process of storage provisioning and delivers dramatic improvements in utilization." - John Padovano, Manager of Technology for EngenderHealth. Virtual Capacity: DataCore's Vision of Storage Virtualization Click to read the full article in Virtual Strategy Magazine. "Another key driver for storage virtualization is the increase in server virtualization products like VMware. They drive the need for a lot more storage. When you only had individual servers, you would just use the attached captive disks installed in the server. With server virtualization products, you need virtual infrastructure storage, which can be served up to one server, or many servers, or a farm of servers. A lot more capacity and flexibility is required, and there's typically a lot more performance load on those virtualized servers. Because of DataCore's scalability and performance, our storage virtualization may help foster an even faster rate of adoption of combined large-scale server and storage virtualization infrastructures. It's an interesting cycle; server virtualization drives more storage and performance requirements, therefore driving the need for powerful storage virtualization. DataCore Storage Virtualization DataCore™ storage virtualization software solutions allow you to manage more with less effort and fewer resources, deploy lower cost storage networks and hardware without sacrificing high-end feature/function/performance, and increase the flexibility and utilization of your storage investments to levels you could not otherwise achieve. DataCore™ is a platform for delivering a range of hardware-independent storage services and features such as fast disk-to-disk backups, snapshots for data protection, mirroring for high availability, remote replication over IP for disaster recovery, and Virtual Capacity - which "grows" the storage capacity allocated to your application servers automatically to meet their needs, instead of having to shut them down to add capacity. DataCore solutions significantly enhance the overall performance of your storage infrastructure, reduce provisioning times for new applications from days to minutes, accelerate response time for change requests and eliminate disruptions for upgrades and hardware maintenance.
