102 DataCore Software Testimonials

"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."

“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 are a 24/7 operation and while products are important, our main priority is providing safe, high-quality, efficient care to the community we serve. As a state-of-the-art healthcare facility, there are greater expectations and zero tolerance for error – whether in IT or the OR (operating room).”

"With DataCore, the client can pick their favorite hardware vendor and even mix and match them,"

“Then, they chose VMware Virtual Infrastructure once DataCore was in place, whereby DataCore is the underlying storage for VMware.”

“We were convinced that we needed a robust SAN to support our objective of server consolidation with VMware as well as our desire to achieve high uptime. We are so impressed with our new virtualization environment and DataCore’s role in virtualizing the storage that we are actively encouraging other county governments in our state to do what we have done.”

“The thing that really surprised me was just how efficiently DataCore storage virtualization software mirrors data between the two SANs in our Austin data center. My hat is off to DataCore for making a software-based storage virtualization solution so efficient.”

“This product makes you think differently about storage and ultimately is the next step in virtualization. DataCore Hyper-converged Virtual SAN gives us the flexibility, reliability and performance to keep our systems running non-stop. No other products I looked at were even close to accomplishing this.”

“SANmelody was clearly the lowest cost solution on the market and it was intuitive to operate from the get go without the need for special skills,”

“Now the Citrix XenServers point to the DataCore virtualized storage for both their operating system and all the necessary data storage. This DataCore-Citrix combination works really well.”

“The concept of having two SANs as your one SAN environment is just elegantly simple. You have an ‘A’ side and a ‘B’ side.”

“The flexibility DataCore’s SANsymphony-V gives us is over-and-above and it has ensured our business operations are never impacted during an equipment or site outage. It just works flawlessly and quickly proved to be a great investment. We consider DataCore the cornerstone of our virtualized storage infrastructure.”

"With DataCore we could buy the latest HP servers and run the DataCore software on them to give us both the high speed we needed for our users' data storage needs, along with the redundancy IT was looking for to eliminate that point of failure in our Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. In addition, DataCore had a solution for us to reuse our old SAN equipment for a Disaster Recovery network to be placed in one of our branch offices as a backup - in case we lost our main facility for some reason. So far, the new DataCore SAN has performed very well - with no issues - and the speed improvements have been significant."

“[With DataCore] we get very impressive performance and bandwidth throughput for the amount of VM servers and applications we are hosting on our environment. Plus, we have improved storage utilization since we are able to over-provision storage by about sixty percent, meaning we are more efficient in our ability to meet the growth and cost demands for more capacity.”

“With DataCore on top of EMC we were able to leverage the space more eectively, however it couldn't keep up with the trac so that’s when we started looking at other solutions.”
