DataCore Sofware, the leading provider of storage virtualization and management software, today announced that it has formally partnered with Adtech Global Solutions, deliverers of mission-critical IT solutions with a strong base in virtualization provision; and Viglen Storage Group, leaders in the provision of ‘open’ storage solutions to the mainstream SMB market. 

“Both partners are a great complement to DataCore’s core values of maximizing storage investment through hardware independence and simplifying storage management, regardless of the size of organization. Adtech Global Solutions excel in providing bespoke end-to-end virtualization solutions backed by strong professional service to larger organizations and Viglen are respected and strong within the mainstream SMB sector, especially in education and healthcare verticals, and therefore a great partner for our SMB focused solutions.” noted Nick Broadbent, UK Managing Director & EMEA Operations, DataCore Software. 

Within the Enterprise space, the arrival in February 2007 of the latest version of DataCore’s SANsymphony 6.0 with it’s high availability and enterprise level management capabilities, has allowed consulting partners to capitalize on the rapidly growing UK market: 

“At AGS we have an extensive customer base including more than half of the UK FTSE organizations. We offer in-depth technical and industry knowledge to deliver optimal solutions. Our dedicated virtualization and storage division means that we are a UK centre of excellence for professional service and support for business continuity, so the selection of DataCore, along with its new enterprise class of solutions is a natural fit.” commented Mohammad Aslam, VP, Adtech International.

Within the general storage space, Viglen have seen significant results as virtualization moves out of the domain of the enterprise and specialist resellers and begins to benefit smaller, budget-conscious organizations: 

“What we are seeing is that DataCore Software’s storage virtualization and management solutions are a great fit for Viglen, were we excel in recommending technology that meets the needs, budgets, growth plans and complements existing systems.” said Carl Gleeson, Viglen Business Development Manager. “We have already seen some notable wins, including Coleg Gwent, the largest further education college in Wales, where DataCore’s SANmelody solution was the only vendor that could provide six campuses with synchronous mirroring, automatic failover and data replication all within budget.
