Business Continuity
Fail-safe SAN protection


DataCore's application transparent high-availabilty and auto failover and failback capabilities slash downtime while protecting your critical business data.
Space-Efficient Online Snapshots

Capture Point-in-Time images

Recover quickly at disk speeds to known good state

Eliminate back-up window

Provide live environment for analysis, development & testing


A secure, reliable and usable backup copy of your data is a must have requirement. But traditional backups can be burdensome long backup windows reduce productivity, and backing up distributed servers with individual storage is cumbersome.

DataCores snapshot feature greatly speeds up and simplifies the process by enabling fast and reliable disk-to-disk online backup copies to be used to protect the data. In addition advanced continuous data protection (CDP) capabilities enable users to travel back in time to restore and recover data and systems back to previous good states.

DataCore makes Disaster Recovery practial

Organizations typically rely on traditional tape backup to guard against this eventuality. More comprehensive disaster recovery (DR) solutions that automatically maintain up-to-date copies of data at a remote location are desirable, but are often unaffordable for two reasons. Either the solutions require very expensive equipment on both ends, or they require modifications to every host with critical data. The former is beyond the scope of the small to medium size enterprise, the latter is host-invasive, complex and difficult to manage.

Now, however, DataCore's cost-effective solutions make DR simple and practical and within the reach of any organization, no matter how small. Please check out the SANmelody feature-packed DR solution bundles. For larger enterprise requirements, please checkout: SANsymphony. For multi-site disaster recovery, please see the Advanced Site Recovery DataSheet. The Advanced Site Recovery software enables businesses to embrace Distributed Disaster Recovery (D-DR) that allows organizations to cost-effectively spread disaster recovery (DR) responsibilities across several smaller sites.
