102 DataCore Software Testimonials

“What we have found with the DataCore and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 + Hyper-V combination is a virtual infrastructure that is redundant, reliable, flexible and expandable.”

“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.”

“If we are under-utilizing our resources then in a sense it is wasted money. In terms of resource utilization, we can get over 80% utilization of our storage investment with DataCore. Make no mistake about it – the attraction to DataCore for us was that it is not a hardware devicebased SAN solution. The software-based approach of DataCore was absolutely ‘key’ for us. Hardware is hardware. The bottom-line for us is that DataCore allows us to do a lot of the things we already knew were possible in the virtualization world, but with storage.”

“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.”

"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.”

“We were fascinated by what DataCore brought to us as a customer and quickly realized that its capabilities are vital to the vertical market we serve – even if the concept of a highly available SAN might be new to our customers.”
