DataCore, on the cutting edge of Virtualization



DataCore's Cool Virtualization Products

SANsymphony
SANsymphony™ software is an enterprise-class open storage networking platform that maximizes the value from IT assets and boosts business productivity. Customers receive enduring ROI benefits from the comprehensive storage management services provided by the software.

SANmelody
SANmelody™ software converts PC servers into cost-effective expansion disk servers. Their added capacity appears as additional internal drives to disk-starved servers on LANs or SANs. This simple solution eliminates the need to commission extra application servers when the existing systems have no more room to add disks. Advanced options include point-in-time snapshots, auto failover across redundant disk servers, auto provisioning of disk space and long-distance asynchronous replication over IP WANs. These functions are host-independent and operate without occupying resources on the application servers.
