Eliminate costly downtime
Lost opportunity costs arising from application downtime are unacceptable, whether it's unplanned or planned. With SANsymphony software you eliminate the need to disturb applications for common storage tasks, which accounts for over 30 percent of server disruptions.

Whether through SANsymphony's automated storage provisioning features or its intuitive drag-and-drop GUI, applications remain online while staff make changes, replicate data, create snapshots and perform backups. Though simple to maintain, these robust storage networks 'Powered by DataCore™' provide a fault-tolerant, redundant architecture for non-stop data access. Combined with affordable disaster recovery options that leverage your existing Internet infrastructure, SANsymphony software provides solutions for data protection under any circumstance. This can significantly lower your total cost of ownership.



High-availability
Non-stop data access is configurable with "N+1" redundant SDS nodes that circumvent any single point of failure. Such innovative and cost-sensitive architecture ensures that service level obligations continue to be met in spite of outages in the data path. Essentially, the I/O traffic interrupted by an outage, whether scheduled or unexpected, is dynamically re-distributed among the remaining active storage resources. Clients automatically exploit alternate paths to maintain high-availability.

Business Continuance and Disaster Recovery
SANsymphony software provides several alternatives for creating and updating known good working images of critical applications at one or more remote contingency sites. To leverage the convenience and low cost of existing Internet infrastructure, DataCore offers an Asynchronous IP Mirroring (AIM) option. AIM operates over conventional LANs and WANs using standard TCP/IP protocols. Secure, encrypted connections such as VPNs and trunked or aggregated multi-link circuits can be used to enhance the privacy and speed of inter-site transmissions. Point-in-time snapshots of remote copies may be triggered periodically or event-driven. When it is essential to keep the remote copy in lock step with the primary image, SANsymphony synchronous Network Mirroring option is an attractive alternative. Separations up to 100 kilometers are typically achieved using dedicated high-bandwidth optical routes across Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs). The originating and remote sites may use dissimilar storage equipment.
