FUNDAMENTALS 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

Create up to 15 tiers of storage

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



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



Data is synchronously

mirrored between unlike

storage systems



Replicate, failover and

failback between unlike

devices



Seamlessly move data from

one device to another
