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).”

“Now, I do not have to constantly monitor disk space. Has it made my life easier? Absolutely. We have been using it for almost six months and it has never failed. That is huge for me.”

“The DataCoreHyper-V combination really fit our needs. I certainly like the virtual environment. I also really like having redundant storage. And having seamless failover was key for us as well.”

“The VMware platform and a DataCore SAN has really given us the needed flexibility to more rapidly deploy systems - especially in the Citrix farm.In addition, the combination has improved our VMotion capability – allowing us to perform maintenance in the middle of the day, if we have to.”

“Our storage challenge was to make sure we had something extremely robust on the backend that we knew we could rely on.”

“We chose DataCore in the core design of our virtual private data center (vPDC) platform alongside VMware and Cisco because it delivers the very best storage virtualization component.”

“DataCore centralizes and consolidates storage management across Mission Community Hospital’s various storage devices. These include Dell Compellent, X-IO ICE and other assorted equipment. We are able to buy the types of storage we need – ranging from basic to faster fibre-based arrays without having to learn a new management system for every model.”

"High availability, performance and flexibility were the decisive criteria and factors we used in choosing a storage solution"

“We have two DataCore storage virtualization servers set for synchronous replication in real-time. We can upgrade the DataCore servers without downtime. Performance has yet to be an issue with 38 servers running on VMware with DataCore storage. And if we need more capacity we can simply add another disk shelf and disks.”

“Not only is the performance amazing, the rich feature set of the product provides the county with the features we desire to work across any storage we manage with DataCore.”

“Our performance has gone through the roof. It was not unusual to see 10, 15, or 20 milliseconds of latency on a read prior to DataCore and Xiotech. And that was on volumes that were dedicated to Tier 1 storage only. Now it is one or two milliseconds tops on most of our transactions. Moreover, reports from the ERP system are literally blazing through – they hardly take any time at all compared to what we were used to.”

“Our goal here was to deploy a system that would allow us to achieve high availability and business continuity for all of our clinical systems... With DataCore in place and with hardware in two different locations, this has allowed us to make our mission-critical, clinical imaging along with other systems highly available, Since we have implemented this, we have not experienced any downtime - even for system maintenance.”

“The flexibility, performance and management scalability of the DataCore solution make it an effective shared storage solution for our large number of virtual machines running under Microsoft Hyper-V.”
