DataCore Named Certified Dell Technology Partner

DataCore Software Corporation announced at Dell World 2014 that it has become a certified Dell Technology Partner.

The program certification recognizes DataCore for passing the testing process required to validate the integration and interoperability of its software on Dell PowerEdge server platforms. The partnership instills customer confidence and gives enterprise IT greater flexibility and more freedom to choose certified, pre-tested platforms and infrastructures that combine industry PowerEdge servers and storage with DataCore’s software-defined storage software solutions.

DataCore SANsymphony-V and Virtual SAN software transform PowerEdge servers into featured software-defined storage servers that are able to virtualize, enhance and derive the productivity from a company’s present and future storage investments. DataCore’s software solutions enable PowerEdge servers and the range of Dell’s storage products to be integrated with all the popular brands and models of installed storage and SSD technologies regardless of the original vendor.

With DataCore software, it is easy to leverage PowerEdge performance acceleration over the entire infrastructure of storage assets. The combination supports features like metro-wide shared storage for clusters and business continuance, and automates tiering, provisioning and migration of storage across the diversity of new or installed disk and flash-based technologies.

Dell and DataCore solutions combine to deliver enterprise performance and high level of availability. In addition, PowerEdge servers and DataCore Virtual SAN software make a suitable solution for the mid-market, especially for Microsoft virtualization projects and mixed Hyper-V and VMware environments running business critical applications such as SQL, SharePoint, Exchange, Dynamics, SAP, Oracle and VDI. In these use cases, DataCore users report nearly a 100% reduction in storage-related downtime, storage costs decreased by up to 75% and I/O performance improvements of virtualized applications by up to 10x.

DataCore showcased its Ready Software-Defined Storage (SDS) software running on Dell PowerEdge servers at the Dell World 2014 conference in Austin, TX.
