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.
