102 DataCore Software Testimonials

"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."

“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.”

"Once I saw the performance we were getting from DataCore, coupled with a lower cost of ownership, it became a no brainer. We were able to remove the speed bottleneck, and users went to VDIs readily; they love the performance they are getting."

"Since using DataCore, our storage-related spending has been reduced by over 50%, and as a state funded organisation that is important, but not as important as providing a first rate user experience which we now have achieved, with a few tweaks along the way."

"In comparison to concepts for replacement, Komtech's solution resulted not only in new equipment for a similar price we were also able to modernise the IT architecture and add more functionality and performance. The hyper-converged data centre based on DataCore Virtual SAN enabled us to set up business continuity processes with improved performance and productivity. The new infrastructure also provides greater flexibility with high investment protection for our future."

“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."

“Since we went live with DataCore SANsymphony, the response from our user community has been fantastic, It is almost night and day from what we had before and it is a significant improvement over what we were used to. I had worked with DataCore before, so I knew the benefits and I knew just how well it performed. Everyone else here was a little bit skeptical as to the speeds and other performance metrics we were claiming were possible with software-defined storage. Now, they are all believers.”

“DataCore is definitely one of the main reasons our mission-critical apps run faster; the SANsymphony caching and performance acceleration capabilities play a vital role. Moreover, DataCore makes great use of the SSDs to further boost performance.”

"SANsymphony BULK enabled us not only to fulfil the urgent requirements for an archive. The hardware independence of the DataCore solution is the key to a future-oriented flexible infrastructure and the expansion costs are calculable. We can integrate new storage technologies and are well-equipped for the next 20 years."

"There was still very little proven experience of using software based solutions in our country, so we analyzed their use worldwide, and came to the conclusion that this option was not only reliable but also very promising."

"Gaining control of our storage layer has had profound ramifications across the entire estate. We knew having used DataCore’s entry-level solutions in the past that we would continue to reap powerful data protection and availability, but it wasn’t until that degree of management control was deployed within the SANsymphony platform that we fully appreciated the management finetuning capabilities."

“The ExCeL hosts events continually throughout the year, so downtime has never been an option. We run two physically separated data centres for business continuity and disaster recovery and for the past ten years have successfully relied on DataCore’s SANsymphony solution running in a replicated dual node configuration to present all data to our VMware enterprise cluster. Protecting our apps remains the most important function for IT.”

“DataCore has addressed our primary requirement of uninterrupted High Availability and Business Continuity for apps for over a decade and we have tested it on occasion throughout that period. This includes a few unplanned power outages as a result of nearby building works. In the outages, DataCore has never let us down – when one half of the mirror was powered down, the other half simply took over. DataCore seamlessly kicks in without manual intervention and starts to rebuild without effecting applications. The mirror automatically resynchronises and paths are restored in the background.”

"The DataCore platform gives us the opportunity of configuring our storage infrastructure flexibly, regardless of whether we expand our SAN in the future, set up a virtual SAN or migrate a data centre. We can respond to actual needs as required regardless of which manufacturer's products we're using."
