SANsymphony Highlights

SANsymphony™ software is an enterprise-class open storage networking platform that maximizes the value from IT assets and boosts business productivity. Customers receive enduring ROI benefits from the comprehensive storage management services provided by the software.

SANsymphony doubles effective disk utilization by pooling disk space from multiple devices and automatically allocating just enough capacity, just-in-time to needy applications. Automating and consolidating storage control easily increases capacity managed per administrator by tenfold. SANsymphony further enhances productivity by eliminating storage-related downtime through non-disruptive provisioning and affordable business continuance options. With these advancements, as well as unprecedented performance and broad connectivity, three times more users can benefit from existing resources.

Many of the benefits derive from advanced techniques that replace labor-intensive, disruptive and time-consuming tasks typically carried out separately for each server and array. Breakthrough hands-free management features include Automated Provisioning of Volumes, flexible Storage Domains, drag-and-drop administration, synchronous and asynchronous remote replication over a broad choice of connections, point-in-time snapshots, and network-wide performance acceleration. These capabilities eliminate wasted time, money and effort to ensure that storage and personnel are most effectively deployed.

As the industry's most powerful independent storage services platform, SANsymphony centralizes control of global disk capacity, quality of service, availability and security using N+1 redundant high-performance network nodes. SANsymphony's consolidated services operate across most disk subsystems (EMC, IBM, HDS, STK, HP, Fujitsu, Compaq, Sun, Dell, LSI, MTI, etc.), network infrastructures, (Fibre Channel, iSCSI, Ethernet, IP LANs / WANs) and operating environments (UNIX, Windows, Linux, NetWare, and MacOS).
