DataCore SolutionIntegrate comprehensive software-defined storage

services into OpenStack

ResultsCentralize provisioning / management of existing

storage resources using standard OpenStack Cinder commands

CLOUDINTEGRATION

DataCore in an OpenStack Cloud

VM


Powerful services make it easy to set up hyper-converged environments, scalable file systems over clusters, VDI configurations, mixed file / block storage and multi-node high-

availability deployments Automates running the software on either physical or on virtual platforms (VMs).

Hyper-Converged and Popular Use Case Deployment Services



FocusStateful VDI deployments

with <500 desktopsin departmental and

mid-market organizations

DataCore SolutionHighly available / higher density VDI across clustered

Hyper-V server pairs with on-server caching & snapshots of inexpensive local disks

ResultsSubstantially reduces storage capacity

& class of storage needed

ROILower cost per virtual desktop makes VDI

an attractive alternative to physical desktops

ChallengeExpensive storage necessary

to meet performance / HA makes VDI prohibitively expensive

VDI Services SDS PLATFORMSERVICES

Compact nodesCache internal disks

Low Cost per Desktop / Departmental VDI

Failover Cluster


FocusMost IT organizations

with general file shares and backup volumes

DataCore SolutionDe-duplicate and compress data in the background for

virtual disks located in designated pools

ResultsReduce capacity necessary to store less frequently used copies of data

ROISpend less on storage

ChallengeWasting disk space storing same

old data in many places

Adds Veeam integration services in addition to supporting CommVault Simpana’s IntelliSnap technology and Microsoft Data Protection Manager to centralize backups for a wide range of applications, hypervisors, operating systems and storage devices.

15

Backup Integration Services, Added Veeam Support and Automation



FocusUsing Veeam to backup

VMware vSphere servers

DataCore SolutionAutomatically trigger Veeam backups of

DataCore snapshots to relieveburden of VM snapshots on hosts

ResultsBackups can be taken more frequently with minimal impact on apps to improve RPOs

ROIGreater productivity and speedier recovery

ChallengevSphere snapshots of VMsused for backups overloadhosts and slow down Apps

FocusOrganizations with virtual storage pools distributed across multiple

locations

DataCore SolutionControl multiple SANsymphony-V server groups

from the same UI & divide administration across appropriate individuals

ResultsStreamlined, centralized management with

delegated responsibilities

ROIFewer people required to manage widely distributed

storage infrastructure

ChallengeDifficulty managing remote

storage resources

PERFORMANCEMANAGEMENT

FocusAll organizations

DataCore SolutionDisplay additional performance metrics for

virtual disks & S.M.A.R.T. alerts from physical storage

ResultsIsolate performance & disk problems before

they become serious

ROIReduce time and expense to troubleshoot

root causes of application slow downs

ChallengeNeed visibility to IO behavior

of virtual and physical disks

Expanded Instrumentation / Metrics


PERFORMANCEMANAGEMENTEarly Warnings Prevent Problems

Device-level predictive failure monitor



FocusUsing or considering flash memory to speed up apps

DataCore SolutionOptimize how cache reads from

PCIe flash cards

ResultsFaster applications response &

better utilization of costly resource

ROIReduce investment in premium-priced

flash memory needed to meet SLA

ChallengeReads from flash are not

as fast as expected

Flash Memory Optimizations



FocusHeavy transactional updates with database applications

& OLTP workloads

DataCore SolutionConvert high-latency random writes into

storage-friendly sequential writes

ResultsSSD-like speed from spinning disks

ROIReduce need for costly flash

ChallengeSlow response from apps with high random write percentage



Before Spending More on Flash PERFORMANCEMANAGEMENT

Disks are slow on random writes


Low cost spinning disks boost performance of random write-intensive database applications & OLTP workloads
