102 DataCore Software Testimonials

“Once you’re at sea, the IT systems need to be absolutely reliable. That’s why we only work with providers and products that we trust 100%. That includes DataCore and SANsymphony."

"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."

“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.”

“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.”

“When we propose and implement new architectures, it is important that they are understandable for us and can replace others in the most painless way possible. Therefore, support is fundamental for us. Having a partner that responds quickly, even outside standard working hours, is important, and DataCore has proven to be extremely effective on multiple occasions. When there is a problem, we must react quickly, and to do so, we need a supply chain capable of helping us quickly resolve any issues that may arise.”

“With DataCore Swarm, our institute takes a big leap forward in our ability to sequence plant DNA using the most advanced methodologies. Swarm provides us with a significant volume of bioinformatics data collected over several decades, which greatly enhances our analytical capabilities and improves our scientific performance.”

“We are a product company, and today we are in a phase of migration from an on-premises version to a cloud version. The challenge is to achieve this while considering the terabytes or petabytes of data we have to manage. Doing it without a solution like DataCore Swarm would have been impossible.”

“With DataCore Swarm in place, we created a proof of concept in a very short time, and within a few weeks, we were able to deploy everything on virtual machines, with the system fully functional. When we received the specially purchased physical hardware for this solution, we completed the transition from virtual to physical without any interruption and with ease.”

"We chose Swarm because it was the most flexible platform and is a key component to deliver the high-end quality video service NEP aims for.”

“iQ Media is a cloud-based media intelligence platform, The company’s product, cliQ, lets marketers and media analysts quickly find and measure the impact of various campaigns, branded, or topic-related content over an extended period.”

"It’s difficult to put a price on actual savings using SDS. What I can tell you confidently, is that we haven’t had to spend IT budget on spinning disks for over four years allowing us to reallocate budget into the student’s digital experience. But it’s also a reflection on the peace of mind that DataCore affords, seamlessly doing everything for us without complaining or demanding. We’re firm fans!"

"Somehow you learn to accept slow performance as a consequence of database crunching, but it’s not until it’s turbo charged – and in this case, by simply by adding a software layer to what’s already in place - that you question why it hadn’t been done sooner!"

"After installing DataCore, the difference was night and day, the SDS software immediately and significantly improved the performance of Lundberg & Associates’ case management software and made it screaming fast— and that is still true today. We have experienced a 5X to 10X performance improvement using DataCore software.”

"Every time we review the data storage offers of other well-known vendors, I’m not convinced their products can outperform the capabilities we have with DataCore.”

"DataCore has given us flexibility that most storage couldn’t. It doesn’t matter what hardware you put it on, it all just works."
