DataCore SANmelody overcomes the high cost barrier and complexity of traditional SAN storage. SANmelody converts standard Intel/AMD servers, blades or virtual machines (VMs) into fully capable storage servers that virtualize disks and serve them over existing networks to application servers. They are simple to operate, take only minutes to install, and let you cost-effectively optimize, manage and protect data storage and disk space.
SANmelody Delivers Cost & Energy Savings, Simplicity, Performance & Productivity:
-
Dramatically improve disk utilization through storage consolidation, pooling and automated thin storage provisioning that puts "Fat Storage" on a diet and reduces energy and space requirements by as much as 50%.
-
Reduce operational burden by centralizing and automating storage administration across like or dissimilar equipment.
-
Slash planned and unplanned downtime using non-disruptive, automatic failover and failback recovery, thin provisioning, thin replication and disaster recovery techniques.
-
Increase performance, connectivity and productivity, allowing you to get more work done in less time and support more users with existing personnel and resources.
SANmelody the perfect complement for Virtual Servers
DataCore lowers the virtualization price tag by reducing the cost of the shared storage required to support it. Over 85% of virtualization deployments require high-availability, SAN shared storage to protect the many application/desktop/server "eggs" that consolidation places in one server "basket," and to keep the operations that depend on them running in the event of server or disk failure. DataCore eliminates the high SAN cost barrier to virtualization by providing SMB-affordable, enterprise-class storage services such as:
-
Advanced Storage Management
-
Fail-Safe iSCSI SAN Shared Storage
-
Automated Thin Provisioning
-
Auto-Failover/Failback High Availability (HA) Business Continuity
-
Snapshot for Fast Disk Backups
-
Disaster Recovery (DR)
-
Intelligent, Predictive Caching Performance Acceleration
SANmelody accelerates performance through built-in caching that minimizes delays from slower mechanical drives. The software equitably distributes the available disk space to multiple applications spread across several machines by carving out smaller logical disks from larger physical disks. Ethernet iSCSI host connections and Fibre Channel high-bandwidth ports are supported. Like other powerful Windows-based software, SANmelody runs on a wide choice of hardware platforms and disk drives. Windows, Linux, Unix, NetWare and MacOS applications may concurrently take advantage of the added gigabytes or terabytes of external disk space.
