Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) September 28, 2009
DataCore Software, a leading provider of storage virtualization, business continuity and disaster recovery software solutions, today announced new SAN software packages and promotions for academic institutions that deliver a price savings of 50% and highlighted a host of educational organizations that have already deployed storage virtualization using its SANmelody™ and SANsymphony™ solutions. DataCore's software solutions enable the data centers and IT departments within these universities to better manage and maximize storage capacity and leverage existing hardware to protect and serve storage assets to Windows, Netware, MacOS, UNIX, and Linux systems and to Microsoft, VMware and Citrix virtual servers and desktops. With DataCore, these organizations can better utilize their existing storage investments and gain the virtualization agility needed to keep up with technology changes and storage growth.
"Most educational enterprises want enterprise-class storage networking functionality but have to settle for a lot less, since they do not have the budgets to implement these solutions due to the high costs and complexity that is involved - especially for fault-tolerant, auto recovery storage systems needed to protect and support virtual server environments," stated George Teixeira, president and CEO, DataCore Software. "And even if they could, most would not want to be tied to a specific hardware vendor since the hardware arrays and the disk technologies are innovating and becoming outdated quickly as new technologies at new price points hit the marketplace."
