DataCore SANsymphony-V Features Benefits Summary
Feature Benefits
Virtual Disk Pooling
Consolidates like or unlike disks - enabling cost efficient
tiering of resources by price/performance and capacity
Thin Provisioning
Increases storage utilization and enables cost savings
by allocating just enough space just-in-time
High Speed Adaptive Caching
Accelerates disk I/O and business-critical application
performance by empowering existing storage assets
Auto-Tiering
Makes intelligent and automatic usage optimizations based
on cost and performance across different types of storage
Sync Mirroring
(Continuous Availability)
Enables non-stop business operations and greater uptime
through real-time I/O mirroring over Metro-wide distances
Asynchronous Remote
Replication
Fast, simple, remote-site disaster recovery and migration; Maintains
distant copies up-to-date without impacting local performance
Online Snapshot
Captures point-in-time images quickly across storage devices; Efficiently
clone system images, speed-up recovery and enable off-line analysis
Continuous Data
Protection Recovery
Businesses can roll back to a previous point-in-time prior to a disaster,
virus attack or other disruptive event without doing an explicit backup
Virtual Disk Migration
Transparently moves and migrates data; Allows non-stop business
operations during data center relocations, VM moves, system refreshes
Unified Storage (NAS/SAN) Supports fast, high-availability NAS for file sharing [NFS/SMB (CIFS)]
Load Balancing
Automates and improves response times and throughput for greater
productivity by overcoming typical storage-related bottlenecks
RAID Striping
Provides better protection and performance by
spreading I/O across multiple disk spindles
Cloud Gateway
Access Cloud storage from different vendors; Extends disk pool to
external clouds; Gateway supports auto-tiering to cloud storage
Analysis Reporting
Offers real-time and historical analysis, ‘heat maps’ to identify I/O
bottlenecks; Reporting for capacity planning, tuning and asset tracking
Centralized Management
Greater productivity and administrative efficiency; Infrastructure-wide
control and monitoring of pooled storage resources from one console
