Austrian Novarion Launches PlatinStor SANs

Novarion IT Service GmbH, a system builder and manufacturer of high-end server and storage solutions, and DataCore Software Corporation have worked together to develop a new line of storage solutions based on DataCore’s SANsymphony-V storage hypervisor technology.

The Novarion PlatinStor systems are configured to address the needs of businesses and the public sector with reliability, performance and availability. They are available European-wide and are being marketed with an emphasis on how they simplify storage management within large IT environments and the ease with which they integrate with existing storage systems.
 
The combined solution delivers a performance solution to the storage market. In particular, large organizations will benefit from the systems modular design and additional features such as performance acceleration through self-adaptive caching, automated storage tiering, unified storage with enables SAN and NAS integration, CDP, snapshots, analysis tools, synchronous mirroring, replication, capacity optimization (thin provisioning), resource virtualisation, centralized SAN management, and the ability to integrate into existing SAN environments,

"We have developed these new storage systems to meet the highest levels of performance, quality and reliability. Together, the combination of the DataCore SANsymphony-V storage hypervisor and Novarion’s resilient and modular hardware design deliver to market a compelling high performance solution. We observed, during the certification process and from our own testing, a two- to seven-fold performance improvement over competitive products," says Georg Gesek, MD at Novarion.

PlatinStor is offered in four models, each integrated with the DataCore’s SANsymphony-V, and they are available with choices of FC, iSCSI or IB connectivity.
