DataCore Software, the industry's premier provider of storage
virtualization software, announced today major enhancements to its
centrally-managed SANsymphony™-
V solution. Combined, these new features elevate SANsymphony-V to
the role of storage
hypervisor, placing customers in the unique position to fully
leverage their existing storage assets, including direct-attached
storage (DAS), storage area networks (SAN) and solid state disks (SSD),
and negotiate the best deals among competing storage manufacturers
without concern for long-standing hardware vendor lock-ins.
"The sprawl and multiplication of storage systems and the rising number
of specialty devices are now the norm. The intelligence of a storage
hypervisor provides a strategic advantage to managing the many as one,"
said George Teixeira, president and CEO of DataCore Software.
"SANsymphony-V enables users to take control of how their storage
infrastructure evolves versus being subject to the dictates of
point-in-time decisions."
SANsymphony-V 8.1 is a portable, centrally-managed software suite
capable of enhancing the combined value of multiple disk storage
systems, including the many purpose-built storage appliances and SSD
type devices arriving to the market daily. The storage hypervisor
supplements the individual capabilities of specialized equipment with a
broad range of device-independent, integrated services.
