Small to Mid Sized SAN           Mid to Large Sized SAN

Rarely does a single storage device fit all of an organisation’s long term needs. Aging hardware, lack of backward compatibility and product obsolescence lead to natural variations in storage infrastructures, even within the same brand and product line. The systemic and financial impact of these variations become readily apparent each time your storage environment changes; be it a failure, repair, upgrade, or expansion. Every modification progressively slows down, interrupts or endangers your IT operations. Although a wholesale replacement could bring temporary relief, it is merely an expensive way to restart the vicious cycle.

Over the past 10 years DataCore has developed sophisticated storage virtualisation technologies to overcome device-specific differences and limitations so that you may experience non-stop, lightning-fast, waste-free SANs despite continuous changes in the makeup of your storage pool.

Benefits

• Keep storage from becoming a major source of disruptions or a single point of failure

• Speed up disk performance while eliminating storage-related downtime

• Take advantage of existing drives and lower cost devices in a SAN to significantly reduce capital expenditures.
• Defer spending on capacity expansion through SAN-wide thin provisioning and low-impact snapshots

• Maintain the same SAN-wide functions across multiple generations of hardware and manufacturers
• Move the software to faster platforms when desired to increase performance, scalability and overall value
