Consider the three pieces of computer equipment that give you the most trouble: Printers, Fans, and Disk Drives. DataCore cant help you with the first two, but DataCore has some very good solutions for disks. Learn more: Are Your Disk's Hurting? Work-arounds falling short? DataCore Can Help!

What is Virtual Storage?

Virtualization gives you a simple way to manage and look at things that are very complicated such as complex, physical devices like computers, disk drives or storage arrays. It turns physical devices and their specific complexities into simpler-to-use software representations of those devices. What virtual servers have done is turn computers into icons virtual machines. When you click on the icon, you can then create or deliver a new virtual machine - a representation of a computer. Virtual storage, likewise, turns the disk drives of many, even disparate, storage devices into an icon virtual disks. By simply clicking on the icon, you can serve, protect, copy and provision storage. Simply put, this virtualized approach gives you a network service that extracts the resources and services you want from an available pool. That pool can be servers from a pool of virtual servers, storage from a pool of virtual storage, or printers from a pool of printers a concept that we all understand. What all these advances have done is turn independently managed devices into a network accessible service. Clicking an icon on a centralized console replaces the need to run around and manually manage and administer many physical devices.

Well behaved SAN-accessible Virtual Disks

DataCore software takes ill-tempered, physically confined disk storage and turns it into well behaved SAN-accessible virtual disks that are faster, more reliable, and easier to back up, maintain and upgrade than the real thing. Furthermore, it hides any pain associated with obsoleting hardware For this reason, the software is generally referred to as storage virtualization.


What about Performance?

While you might think that overhead and performance penalties are the price for virtualization, exactly the opposite is true with DataCores software. Youll find that it actually improves the response time from your disks through intelligent, high-speed caching built right into the products.
