CompuVision Becomes DataCore Premier Partner

DataCore Software Corporation and CompuVision, provider of business computer, networking, telecommunications and
cabling services serving Santa Barbara, Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties
for more than 19 years, announced that CompuVision has become  a DataCore Premier Partner.

CompuVision can now deploy adaptable and scalable virtualized storage
environments that can better support the increasingly high performance
needs of today’s businesses and their demanding application workloads through
the use of DataCore’s SANsymphony-V storage virtualization platform. The
hardware agnostic nature of SANsymphony-V allows CompuVision to deploy the
right blend of hardware solutions to best fit their customers’ budgets
and meet existing and future needs while making it easy to get the optimal use
out of their previous storage investments.

"Today’s IT infrastructures are
continuing to grow and evolve dynamically and in the ‘software-defined’ age,
organizations now must have tremendous power of choice just to keep up,"
said John Hunt, CEO, CompuVision and Vision Communications. "By adding a hardware-agnostic storage
virtualization platform to our portfolio, we are in a strong position to advise
our clients on the best and most economical hardware purchases to serve their
business needs. By partnering with DataCore, we are also putting ourselves in a
perfect position to capitalize on the current revenue opportunities created by
the ‘software-defined’ market."

CompuVision and Vision Communications serve more than 1,000 clients in
California’s Santa Barbara, Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties, providing
technology design, implementation and ongoing support. The company’s clients
represent industries including legal, medical, financial,
manufacturing, construction and real estate. They are committed to helping each
client balance innovation, reliability and security within their budget, while
maximizing network and communications environments for productivity. By
providing a single point of expertise and support for a range of business
technologies, CompuVision allows customers to avoid the frustrations of
multi-vendor technology and focus on achieving the critical business goals.

SANsymphony-V R9 is an agnostic storage virtualization platform that
enables companies to avoid hardware lock-in and purchase only the equipment
that suits their business goals. DataCore’s storage virtualization
platform empowers customers’ existing storage investments and improves business
critical application performance. Features, such as automated storage
tiering, allow IT administrators to get the ROI from expensive hardware
purchases, such as flash and SSD, assuring that only applications and databases
that require powerful computing are ever stored on them, while less frequently
used, non-critical data is sent to less costly and lower performing equipment
or even cloud-based options.

"There is no doubt that technology
has an enormous impact on how modern companies conduct business and they turn to
IT solution providers to simplify their IT operations and guide them toward the
services and solutions that will have the most significant impact on their
success," said David Ochser, channel chief, Americas, DataCore. "CompuVision has established
a reputation for being committed to client success and offering the best
solutions on the market to drive growth and efficiency. Through our
partnership, CompuVision’s clients will have access to powerful storage
virtualization software that will prepare them to meet increasing performance
needs in the future while maximizing the value of their current hardware."

DataCore Software’s Premier Partner Program enables IT consultants and solution
providers to answer growing market demand for more cost-effective storage, such
as the implementation of flash and SSDs into tiered storage networks alongside
conventional disk systems to improve application and virtualized workload
performance, as well as making it easy to do migrations to the benefits or
software-defined storage. DataCore’s recently enhanced, program builds on
appealing characteristics. This includes channel-only sales
that eliminate direct sales conflict, regard for regional coverage by
authorized partners in order to avoid over-distribution, and a customized
on-boarding program to help rapidly close new business within the partner’s
current client population.
