DataCore Gained Storage Project of the Year Award at SVC Awards 2017

DataCore Software Corporation announced recently that their five-year install of SANsymphony software-defined storage platform at Grundon Recycling, a UK recycling company, won the storage project of the year at the 2017 SVC Awards.

The judges selected the Grundon Recycling testimonial as winner
against two other impressive installation entries for 3 key reasons:

• Consolidation and management of data sets growing 20% Y/Y across 7 data centres and regional offices through a software-defined storage platform
• Implementation of an enduring and holistic approach to management of estate, including multiple DAS devices, 48 servers, 16 physical vSphere ESX hosts, 22 VMs
• Assured BC with 7 days a week operation in a heavy industrial environment throughout the UK.

Brett Denly, regional director, DataCore UK and Eire picks up on the win: “This is a great endorsement for SANsymphony within a long term install whose very business is driven by re-use and savings. Competition was tough out there, with the Grundon install up against other great entries including Weetabix Foods. We are thrilled to have received winning status.“
