Storage Virtualization Products | SANmelody
 
"We downloaded SANmelody from DataCore's website and had it up and running in minutes. We could serve up disks using an Ethernet connection quickly and easily. SANmelody makes it possible to serve up high-performance and highly available storage using your existing network infrastructure."
-- Dwight Ricks, Wasatch Advisors |
SANmelody - Affordable, High Performance, Flexible SAN Software
DataCore SANmelody overcomes the high cost barrier and complexity of
traditional SAN storage. SANmelody converts standard Intel/AMD servers,
blades or virtual machines (VMs) into fully capable storage servers that
virtualize disks and serve them over existing networks to application
servers. They are simple to operate, take only minutes to install, and
let you cost-effectively optimize, manage and protect data storage and
disk space.
SANmelody Delivers Cost & Energy Savings, Simplicity, Performance &
Productivity:
- Dramatically improve disk utilization through storage consolidation,
pooling and automated thin storage provisioning that puts "Fat Storage"
on a diet and reduces energy and space requirements by as much as 50%.
- Reduce operational burden by centralizing and automating storage
administration across like or dissimilar equipment.
- Slash planned and unplanned downtime using non-disruptive, automatic
failover and failback recovery, thin provisioning, thin replication and
disaster recovery techniques.
- Increase performance, connectivity and productivity, allowing you to
get more work done in less time and support more users with existing
personnel and resources.
SANmelody the perfect complement for Virtual Servers
DataCore lowers the virtualization price tag by reducing the cost of
the shared storage required to support it. Over 85% of virtualization
deployments require high-availability, SAN shared storage to protect the
many application/desktop/server "eggs" that consolidation places in one
server "basket," and to keep the operations that depend on them
running in the event of server or disk failure. DataCore eliminates the high
SAN cost barrier to virtualization by providing SMB-affordable,
enterprise-class storage services such as:
- Advanced Storage Management
- Fail-Safe iSCSI SAN Shared Storage
- Automated Thin Provisioning
- Auto-Failover/Failback High Availability (HA) Business Continuity
- Snapshot for Fast Disk Backups
- Disaster Recovery (DR)
- Intelligent, Predictive Caching Performance Acceleration
SANmelody accelerates performance through built-in caching that minimizes delays from slower mechanical drives. The software equitably distributes the available disk space to multiple applications spread across several machines by carving out smaller logical disks from larger physical disks. Ethernet iSCSI host connections and Fibre Channel high-bandwidth ports are supported. Like other powerful Windows-based software, SANmelody runs on a wide choice of hardware platforms and disk drives. Windows, Linux, Unix, NetWare and MacOS applications may concurrently take advantage of the added gigabytes or terabytes of external disk space.
