Maximize value from your storage investments
As you can see, the SANsymphony-V storage hypervisor makes storage largely interchangeable. It reconciles disparities between different models of hardware devices, enabling you to choose across the full range of purposebuilt products from your favorite manufacturers and later add attractive new technologies, unconcerned with backward compatibility. Furthermore, the skills you acquire to manage today’s gear are the same ones you’ll use to administer next year’s lineup. This novel, yet transparent virtualization software brings unmatched flexibility and cost reductions in system design, procurement and ongoing operations. In so many ways, DataCore maximizes the performance and value you derive from your strategic and tactical storage investments.
