Dot
Hill Systems Corp., a provider of world-class storage
solutions and software, today announced that its AssuredSAN 4000 series
storage arrays are 'DataCore Ready' and provide full interoperability with the
SANsymphony-V storage hypervisor from DataCore Software.
"DataCore
SANsymphony-V can address many of the storage challenges faced by customers
today; data migration and storage re-deployment is one example of an
application that can help end users do more with their IT investments during
tough economic times," stated Andy Hooper, general manager for storage
solutions at Hammer. "Dot Hill's performance flagship AssuredSAN 4000
series and the level 1 caching capabilities of SANsymphony-V also provide an
incredible foundation for customers looking to address storage performance
improvements."
The
AssuredSAN 4000 series is the second Dot Hill platform to achieve the DataCore
Ready certification following in the footsteps of the AssuredSAN 3000 earlier
this year. The high performance AssuredSAN 4000 compliments the AssuredSAN 3000
by providing users with data transfer speeds of up to 5200 MB/s read and 3000
MB/s write. This delivers an excellent high performance storage infrastructure
which can be further enhanced with DataCore's level 1 caching technology. The
combination of Dot Hill AssuredSAN storage and DataCore's SANsymphony-V storage
hypervisor can also assist end users in simplifying storage management and
greatly improving data availability. Certification under the DataCore Ready
program provides end users with the confidence that Dot Hill AssuredSAN 4000
storage solutions have undergone verification testing to ensure joint solution
compatibility.
The
DataCore storage hypervisor will enable Dot Hill's AssuredSAN 4000 series with
added performance acceleration through adaptive caching, space efficiency with
thin provisioning and a multitude of high availability (HA) features including
synchronous mirroring, and continuous data protection (CDP) for any
point-in-time backup and recovery.
"There
is great synergy between Dot Hill and DataCore technology, our entire product
range is designed from the ground up for high availability and when combined
with DataCore's storage virtualization and management software a deployment
architecture is achieved where single points of failure are eliminated,"
stated Jim Jonez, senior director marketing at Dot Hill. "This allows both
our channel partners and end users to leverage a solid scalable storage
solution that will improve business continuity and boost performance at a very
attractive price point through our affinity discount program."
