SANsymphony
DataCore Software
SANsymphony-V forms a transparent, scalable virtualization layer across your storage infrastructure in order to enhance its capabilities and centralize its management. The many nuances that distinguish one model or brand of storage from another and render them mutually incompatible no longer stand in the way of using them together. Essentially, SANsymphony-V federates dispersed resources to: a) maximize their combined value, b) to overcome device-specific differences and c) provide higher levels of service than the devices can offer individually. You have complete freedom to select the storage devices that make up your physical storage pool;mixing and matching as you see fit, even migrating between old and new in the background. SANsymphony-V works with all the popular models and brands of disk devices supported on Windows Servers allowing you to strike a balance between high-speed, premium-priced resources and lower cost, higher capacity gear. The same flexibility applies to packaging. Larger environments requiring many Terabytes or Petabytes of disk space generally use external disk arrays to house hundreds of drives in very high-density packages. On the other hand, compact applications in cramped rooms or hardened mobile enclosures can take advantage of drives housed inside the DataCore nodes. Still others start small with internal drives and expand externally. It’s common to split the overall disk capacity evenly between a pair of redundant nodes for high-availability and load balancing. The software accepts direct-attached storage (DAS), SAN arrays and solid state disks / flash cards with equal ease, connecting to them via any of the standard disk interfaces (SATA, SAS, Fibre Channel, iSCSI, etc.,).
