102 DataCore Software Testimonials

“I see a lot of value in what server virtualization has to offer. However, if you are shortsighted in trying to implement server virtualization without also looking to virtualize your SAN, you have only addressed half your potential problems. It is just a natural progression that server virtualization and SAN virtualization are implemented simultaneously to seamlessly virtualize the entire environment.”

"We are happy with our DataCore investment and we are benefiting from the many functional and financial benefits of putting it in use. The SAN now enables flexibility in administration, ease of expansion and the ability to dynamically allocate storage where and when we need it. DataCore caching accelerates overall performance and delivers a much higher data throughput. The software approach ensures the ease of transfer and the ability to use SAN-wide features on different hardware arrays and devices. Thus it is a very cost-effective way to mirror data. For our demanding ERP application, the fact that we could run FusionIO Solid State Disks under the DataCore virtualization and management solution was critical. We gained tremendous performance from adding FusionIO SSDs and overall we reduce energy and cooling costs."

“We have to deliver such a widespread offering of IT initiatives, through software and different types of hardware technologies. They consist of everything from interactive multi-touch whiteboards, HD streaming video, and remote AutoCAD, to running all of our databases for the district’s financial reporting, student management, transportation routing and scheduling. In addition, we have all of the specialty student software end portals and online testing access. The list literally goes on and on."

“The reason that we chose DataCore was the flexibility and cost savings we gained from their storage virtualization solution and the way that it worked within our system to provide very powerful experiences to accelerate revenue for Microsoft sales people and other clients around the world.”

“So you have to go buy a new box and transfer data to that box. With DataCore, the biggest benefit for us has been not having to upgrade hardware every time we run out of disk space and avoiding the pain associated with those types of transitions. DataCore has had a huge, huge impact in this area. For instance, we have gone from having to replace and upgrade our email server yearly, to being able to just swap in a new, virtual disk when we run out of space.”

"We were intrigued by the ability to apply virtualization to our storage and the possibility of getting high-end data protection for the disk farms behind our Citrix infrastructure, without incurring the high costs generally associated with such functions or sacrificing security. If DataCore can save us $100,000 to $200,000 during this modernization, then we have really struck gold."

“When we realized just what we could get out of an iSCSI configuration using DataCore, we stopped putting money into the big box SAN and started directing resources to the DataCore-powered, virtualized SAN. Now we are at the point where in order to accommodate our growth, it is more attractive to retire the big box and roll-out an even larger configuration with DataCore at the heart of the virtualized environment.”

“I have never experienced a product as versatile as DataCore’s storage hypervisor.”

“DataCore meets the high performing, fail-safe criteria the space center insists on with so much money at stake. It can bypass any storage glitches to keep the tests running without interruption.”

“In a K-12 setting, if the school districts are not looking at virtualization, they are cutting their legs out from under themselves.”

“Having the ability to scale and work across multiple nodes campus-wide and to be able to fail over as needed for upgrades/maintenance/expansion – even during regular business hours – is a real luxury. DataCore SANsymphony-V hasn’t been down since we installed it.”

“The software saves us time and money, but I know from experience that it takes more than cool products to get the job done. I have really been blown away by the DataCore and Fairway combination, especially the work of their service organizations,”

“DataCore SANmelody has been 100% reliable. The biggest benefit we have seen is the fact that we can add storage without bringing anything down.”

“Budgetwise and performance-wise, SANmelody won out. The performance numbers on SANmelody are right there with any of the top vendors and we are able to use servers that would either be doing nothing or would be offered up for auction. The main business drivers for going with SANmelody were the price point, the scalability, as well as the breadth of storage services that can be taken advantage of with the product.”

“We have realized better data protection by moving our critical data storage to DataCore – providing high availability for servers and VDI desktops. This plays strongly into our business continuity and disaster avoidance strategy.”
