Virtualize External Storage HardwareFUNDAMENTALS OF DATACORE STORAGE VIRTUALIZATION

Runs on standard x86 servers One set of common storage services

for all storage devices All storage capacity in a single pool

eliminating wasted capacity Unlike storage systems communicate

seamlessly reducing complexity and preventing downtime

Replicates data leaving no single point of failure

Seamless scalability with no reason to commit to a single hardware manufacturer

7


Create up to 15 tiers of storage

8

Evaluates data at the block level so data from a single application can reside on multiple storage tiers

Auto-tiering Dynamically Optimizes Resources

Below average moves down a tier

Tier 2 Tier 3Tier 1 Tier n

Hot ColdWarm Archive

Above average moves up a tier


Uses x86-64 CPUs and memory from DataCore nodes as powerful, inexpensive “mega caches”

Run applications at electronic memory speeds vs. slow spinning disks

Intelligently anticipates reads and streamlines writes to optimize performance

9

10x performance on existing storage


Data is synchronously mirrored between unlike storage systems

Replicate, failover and failback between unlike devices

Seamlessly move data from one device to another

Cross-Device Synchronous Mirroring
