DataCore Software Corporation announced that DataCore SANmelody and SANsymphony virtual storage SAN solutions are among the first solutions to be verified for Citrix XenServer in the Citrix Ready program. DataCore is currently validating additional Citrix Ready solutions, including DataCore storage virtualisation with Citrix Provisioning Server and Citrix XenDesktop, individually and in combination with Citrix XenServer.
“Storage virtualization goes hand-in-hand with server, desktop and application delivery virtualization,” said George Teixeira, president and CEO, DataCore Software. “DataCore extends the virtual infrastructure all the way through to your storage, giving your storage the same qualities that Citrix virtualization gives your servers, desktops and applications — flexibility, simplicity, optimal utilization and ease of administration.”
The Citrix Ready programme recognizes Citrix partner products that have been validated by Citrix and/or partners to work in Citrix environments, making it simpler for customers to identify solutions that can be used with confidence in Citrix environments.
“Storage is critical to rapidly deploying virtualization solutions, and DataCore’s storage virtualization solutions have been validated with Citrix XenServer,” said Barry Davis, VP Business Development at Citrix. “DataCore’s affordable, high availability, SAN storage solutions will help our mutual customers to overcome the cost barriers and complexity that SAN storage can present.”
DataCore solutions convert standard Intel/AMD servers or even virtual machines into fully capable storage servers that virtualise disks and serve them over existing networks to application servers. They are simple to operate, take only minutes to install, and cost-effectively optimise, manage and protect data storage and disk space.
“Our production environment is highly demanding, but we have met all our objectives with DataCore SANmelody and Citrix XenServer,” said Philippe Ottin, System Manager for Weishardt Group, one of Europe’s largest manufacturers of gelatine used in the food production, life sciences, and other industries. “The combination solution gave us a simple to use, cost effective, and agile virtual infrastructure, in which we can deploy and redeploy virtual machines easily and confidently knowing that SANmelody’s high availability virtual disks will follow them wherever they go.”
