Consolidation & Storage Management
Storage Consolidation, Pooling and Thin Provisioning
DataCore fundamentally changes for the better the economics of IT investment and productivity by consolidating underutilized storage resources, and pools them so that you can use and manage them much more efficiently and effectively. The result is that you don’t have to buy as much or as often because you are getting more out of what you already own. DataCore storage virtualization software gives you the full utilization of the storage you already own because you can fully share and manage your storage as a common pool of storage resources over network connections.
Virtualizing and consolidating storage into a pool has a dramatic effect on productivity. Instead of having to work with many individual storage devices one at a time, DataCore’s storage virtualization software allows you to deliver storage resources as a network service to many users from one common point of administration-- the pool.

DataCore also takes care of automatically allocating those resources where you need them, when you need them. DataCore's thin provisioning software, for example, can reduce an organization’s traditional ‘fat’ storage capacity requirements by as much as 60%. Learn More: Maximize and Optimize Your Storage.

Server Consolidation and Storage
As you think through virtualization of applications, desktops and servers, you no doubt have come to realize the pronounced dependence you are about to place on your storage infrastructure as a much larger population of users concentrate their I/O demands through fewer physical computers.
 
- DataCore's storage virtualization software insulates your virtual server environments from the adds,
moves and changes in the physical disk configuration.
- DataCore's application transparent high-availabilty and auto failover and failback capabilities slash downtime
while protecting your critical business data.
- DataCore's ability to boost the performance of the disk subsystems helps overcome the sluggishness
of concentrated I/O workloads.
Before server virtualization, the consequences of storage-related interruptions were much more isolated when each server had its own separate slice of disks. You could better coordinate planned downtime since a smaller set of users was impacted. Some could even continue to operate offline from their PCs or workstations pretty much unaffected.
Now consider that when you have multiple virtual machines or virtual desktops sharing the same disk subsystems, far more users will be affected when you take down the physical server to reconfigure, replace or upgrade components of your disk arrays. And far more users will complain when disk bottlenecks arise from the aggravated work loads; not to mention when a disk crashes or a disk array gets damaged accidentally or by forces of nature.
