Virtual Storage for Complete Virtualization
Virtual Servers and Virtual Desktops have proven to optimize resource utilization and allocation. But they require high performance, highly available, consolidated storage for positive user response. Virtualization without Virtual Storage either risks more down time, since one disk failure can affect multiple virtual servers, or requires expensive hardware storage solutions that can ruin your project's ROI. It is not a coincidence that the leading Virtual Server company, VMware, was bought and is still owned by a leading "big-iron" storage vendor, EMC. All of DataCore's features and benefits are critical in a virtual server environment, and are much more cost-effective.
The complete virtual environment means your IT staff is working with one consistent system model. They can set up racks of blade servers and decide, as needed, which should support virtual servers and which should support virtual storage. The hardware and connections are interchangeable, so no more learning curves for each new box that comes in.
DataCore is partnered and qualified with most leading virtualization companies, including VMware, Citrix, Parallels and Microsoft. They have successful installations in production under all these virtual enviroments. See http://www.datacore.com/downloads/TEV_Matrix_2009.pdf for more information.
Prinomic's staff has deep virtualization experience and can assist you at all stages of your virtualization projects.
DataCore Storage Virtualization Enhances Server Virtualization
"The products work hand-in-hand to accelerate the time it takes to allocate and assign systems and storage," said Kosmas Schütz, 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. "
DataCore's storage virtualization software insulates your virtual server environments from the adds, moves and changes in the physical disk configuration.
DataCore's application-transparent high-availabilty and auto failover and failback capabilities slash down time while protecting your critical business data.
DataCore's ability to boost the performance of the disk subsystems helps overcome the sluggishness of concentrated I/O workloads.
