Datacore virtualizes storage to reduce costs and achieve higher performance. Instead of getting locked into expensive hardware SAN storage devices, DatacCore enables you to achieve the benefits of SAN using inexpensive commodity storage drives and re-usable, upgradable software. You get high-end functionality at low cost with fiber channel and iSCSI support.

Reduce Storage Cost
▪ Use low-cost commodity storage, and not costly proprietary storage
▪ Utilize all of the unused storage capacity you have on all drives, from any vendor
▪ Use the same software to manage storage for many years through hardware and infrastructure changes.

Consolidate all storage, from all vendors, into a single storage pool
▪ DataCore virtualizes all storage, regardless of where it resides, and gives all users access to it.

Allocate storage dynamically from the central pool as applications demand it
▪ DataCore presents large virtual volumes to applications, and allocates disk blocks dynamically on writes as applications demand them through  “Thin Provisioning”

Open system, hardware independent, portable    
▪ All major storage platforms, any Windows-compliant storage device
▪ All major virtual server platforms – VMWare, Citrix XenServer, Virtual Iron, Microsoft VM, Oracle VM.
▪ Delivered to Windows, MacOS, Netware and various flavors of Unix, including Linux

Manage all storage resources, all vendors, with one management interface  
▪ Manage storage for many years through generations of hardware and infrastructure changes.

Reduce provisioning times for new applications from days to minutes.
▪ Take the guesswork out of disk allocation.

OTHER UNIQUE BENEFITS
▪ Accelerate storage I/O performance with DataCore’s self-learning, predictive algorithms and faster cache

▪ Start server virtualization at low cost, featuring advanced storage management, I/O performance acceleration, thin provisioning, data migration,

business continuity, & disaster recovery - from entry-level SAN at US$1,250 to US$ 20,000

▪ Value Protection Upgrade – add capacity and functions and pay only the difference in price

▪ Seamless failover for virtual servers

▪ High-speed snapshots provide faster disk backup and any-point-in-time recovery

▪ Simplified data migration with SANmotion

▪ Disaster prevention & recovery. Replicate storage to DR site over IP with Asynchronous IP Mirroring (AIM)
