DataCore is the perfect complement to Citrix.
"Without the Citrix XenServer and DataCore combination, we would not have been able to afford to consolidate our servers and install a SAN to protect our storage," said Gayle Spencer, Sherron Associates. Read More
"DataCore accelerates I/O performance and runs on virtually any hardware or on a VM itself. It’s the affordable and simple choice for fault-tolerant SAN shared storage, high availability and disaster recovery -- all 'must-haves' to move and migrate virtual servers and desktops, and to protect production environments from the ‘many eggs in one basket’ problem inherent in consolidation."

DataCore:The Storage Foundation for Total Enterprise Virtualization
Don’t let physical storage be a drag on the benefits of virtualizing servers, desktops and application delivery. DataCore™ extends the virtual infrastructure all the way through to your storage, giving your storage the same qualities that Citrix virtualization gives your servers, desktops and applications -- Flexibility, Simplicity, Optimal Utilization and Ease of Administration. When you move to Total Enterprise Virtualization by selecting DataCore for your shared storage, high availability or disaster recovery needs, you'll gain a better, more user-friendly and cost effective storage environment, and your other virtual infrastructures will no longer be tethered to physical storage, making it much easier to deploy, protect and migrate virtual servers, desktops and applications.
DataCore Virtual Storage is the perfect complement to Citrix XenServer and XenDesktop
DataCore software frees your storage from the “hard-wired” constraints of physical storage devices, making storage and SAN infrastructures fault tolerant, flexible and virtual. In combination with Citrix virtualization solutions such as XenServer, it is the virtual storage layer that completes a “Total Enterprise Virtualization” strategy, providing true mobility for virtual servers and desktops, while optimizing disk space utilization, accelerating I/O performance and providing your storage with the same flexibility, ease of movement, cost savings and ease of administration that only a virtualization solution can provide..

Virtual Machine and Desktop Mobility Require Virtual Storage Agility and Fail-Safe Protection
DataCore allows your storage to be pooled, shared, served, managed, serviced and protected with a mouse-click as a network software service instead of through the laborious manipulation of individual, physical storage devices. With DataCore virtual storage solutions, storage becomes completely portable and “floats” across the infrastructure to where it is needed from time to time, without moving or reconnecting physical devices one to the other.
Affordable, High Performance, Flexible SAN Software
DataCore overcomes the high cost barrier and complexity of traditional SAN storage. DataCore solutions convert standard Intel/AMD servers or virtual machines (VMs) into fully capable storage servers that virtualize disks and serve them over existing networks to application servers. They are simple to operate, take only minutes to install, and let you cost-effectively optimize, manage and protect data storage and disk space.
DataCore Delivers Cost & Energy Savings, Simplicity, Performance & Productivity:
- Dramatically improve disk utilization through storage consolidation, pooling and automated thin storage provisioning that puts “Fat Storage” on a diet and reduces energy and space requirements by as much as 50%.
- Reduce operational burden by centralizing and automating storage administration across like or dissimilar equipment.
- Slash planned and unplanned downtime using non-disruptive, automatic failover and failback recovery, thin provisioning, thin replication and disaster recovery techniques.
- Increase performance, connectivity and productivity, allowing you to get more work done in less time and support more users with existing personnel and resources.
Enterprise-class SAN Storage Protection and Services at SMB-Affordable Prices
DataCore lowers the virtualization price tag by reducing the cost of the shared storage required to support it. Over 85% of virtualization deployments require high-availability, SAN shared storage to protect the many application/desktop/server “eggs” that consolidation places in one server “basket,” and to keep the operations that depend on them running in the event of server or disk failure. DataCore eliminates the high SAN cost barrier to virtualization by providing SMB-affordable, enterprise-class storage services such as:
- Advanced Storage Management
- Fail-Safe iSCSI SAN Shared Storage
- Automated Thin Provisioning
- Auto-Failover/Failback High Availability (HA) Business Continuity
- Snapshot for Fast Disk Backups
- Disaster Recovery (DR)
- Intelligent, Predictive Caching Performance Acceleration
DataCore solutions overcome the high cost barrier and complexity of SAN storage
DataCore storage virtualization solutions take minutes to install, are simple to use and are priced easily within reach of small and midsize enterprises, and scale affordably to meet the needs of even the most storage-intensive, Fortune 1000 data centers.
Hardware Independence Yields Lasting Value
DataCore builds hardware independent, software-based storage solutions that run on any standard physical or virtual server. As a result, they can grow as needed through software upgrades and be “transplanted” from one server to the next. With DataCore, you can be confident that you have invested in a shared storage solution that will serve, manage and protect your storage for many years, surviving generations of hardware (unlike hardware-based storage solutions that after just a few years of service are outgrown, become obsolete or go the way that all machines go eventually).
“Go Virtual” –Affordable iSCSI SAN and Disaster Recovery Solutions that Scale!
DataCore’s Virtual Infrastructure Foundation (VIF) Starter SAN Bundles range from $1,000 to $20,000 (MSRP), making it practical for almost any business to get started with server virtualization backed by a DataCore virtual SAN. To find out more please visit:
