DataCore and Atto With Combined Solution

DataCore Software Corporation and Atto Technology, Inc. are offering a combined solution featuring Atto XstreamCORE intelligent bridges and DataCore SDS solutions.

DataCore integrates with XstreamCORE ito make DAS available over FC or Ethernet to form a resilient SAN with virtually zero downtime. It provides configuration flexibility, HA, and high performance while reducing enterprise storage costs.

SDS architectures directly address concerns over the costs of storage capacity expansion. The solution from both companies allows budget-conscious buyers the ability to achieve HA at less cost than traditional high-end storage arrays with greater resiliency in JBOD, JBOF, and RAID array deployments, as well as more management capabilities than competitive solutions.

“The combination of DataCore SANsymphony and Atto gives IT the flexibility to use existing storage, add capacity using the storage of their choice, and configure it in any configuration they require, delivering superior performance and availability,” said Gerardo Dada, CMO, DataCore. “This approach frees organizations from hardware or vendor lock-in and gives them a unified, smart, software-defined control layer that simplifies management and reduces costs, both of which are very important to organizations dealing with strained IT budgets and resources during this global pandemic and economic downturn.”

SANsymphony pools capacity and dynamically auto-tiers data across diverse storage equipment under a centralized control plane of SDS services. The device-agnostic functions include synchronous and asynchronous replication, zero-touch failover and failback for local and metro-clusters, advanced site recovery, as well as CDP and fast, lightweight snapshots.

“Atto XstreamCORE and DataCore SDS solutions perfectly complement each other in function, performance and utility,” said Tom Kolniak, senior director of marketing, product management and alliances, Atto. “Customers will quickly appreciate the flexibility and savings this combination gives them.”

Atto XstreamCORE is an intelligent bridge that connects direct-attached SAS JBODs, JBOFs, RAID arrays or tape drives to up to 64 physical hosts over Ethernet or FC networks, creating a pool of scalable storage.

Exclusive acceleration technologies deliver up to 1.1 million 4K IO/s or 6GB/s with low latency.
