DataCore Software
announced that N-TEC, a European system builder and storage vendor, will build
and deliver a range of Storage Appliances under the new “DataCore Ready”
program, which is designed to help system builders grow their storage business
and serve the increasing market demand for easy to use storage solutions. The
“DataCore Ready” program makes it easy for system builders to develop turnkey
storage systems and appliances based on DataCore’s SANsymphony™-V storage
hypervisor. As one of the first partners to announce solutions under this new
program, N-TEC has launched a new RapidCore Storage Appliance product line which
comes pre-installed with DataCore’s storage hypervisor software. The N-TEC
RapidCore Storage Appliance provides small and mid-size businesses a
cost-effective and easy-to-use, turnkey solution to meet the needs of managing
storage growth and the growing demand driven from virtualization projects for
greater business continuity and performance.
The “Powered by
DataCore" N-TEC RapidCore Storage Appliance is now available as a one-stop
turnkey solution offering from N-TEC with pricing for hardware, software,
installation, support and services all included. The great flexibility and
simplicity provided by these pre-configured appliances, make them the ideal SAN
solution for small and mid-size enterprises. The built-in storage hypervisor
software ensures high-availability for business continuity, fast performance,
optimal resource efficiency and ease of administration.
"Businesses are
demanding affordable, reliable, universal and scalable storage solutions. The
storage hypervisor software from DataCore complements the N-TEC portfolio
ideally. We are very excited about the collaboration and the rapid certification
of the solution”, says Sven Meyerhofer of N-TEC. "With the N-TEC RapidCore
Storage Appliance ‘powered by DataCore’ we now offer a cost-effective turnkey
high-availability solution that integrates the industry’s most advanced storage
technologies in an appliance form factor that anyone can easily use."
The N-TEC RapidCore
Storage Appliance is available in three versions ranging in capacity from two to
64 terabytes. Additional storage devices can be easily integrated and expanded
to add capacity on-the-fly. The solution supports SATA, SAS or SSD storage
devices, both iSCSI or FC connectivity are available either included or as an
option. High-availability via a continuous mirroring design prevents downtime
and data loss. In addition, features such as thin provisioning, automatic
failover and failback multipathing (MPIO) and asynchronous replication are
integrated within the appliances. The management of the appliance is based on an
intuitive GUI which makes it easy for anyone to administer and perform
operations via wizards, automation and simple mouse clicks.
"Over many years,
N-TEC has established itself as a major manufacturer of storage solutions in the
German/European market, that makes N-TEC an ideal first partner to launch our
‘DataCore Ready Program’ for system builders. The RapidCore Storage Appliance is
a high-performance solution that is cost-effectively priced to address the
growing market for virtualisation projects in the small to mid-size business
environments. With this partnership, DataCore opens up the larger volume market
potential available to SAN appliances who demand a one-stop turnkey solution",

Sales at DataCore Software.
The DataCore Ready
Program
The DataCore Ready
Program identifies solutions that are trusted to enhance DataCore SANsymphony-V
Storage Hypervisor-based infrastructures. While DataCore solutions interoperate
with common open & industry standard products, those listed as DataCore
Ready have completed additional verification testing thereby providing customer
confidence in joint solution compatibility. The DataCore Ready designation is
awarded to third party products that have successfully met the verification
criteria set by DataCore through the successful execution of a functional test
plan.
Through the program,
third-party products and solutions can gain exposure to DataCore customers and
resellers. The DataCore Ready designation enables partners to generate new
revenue opportunities, improve customer satisfaction, and also increases
mindshare leveraging the DataCore brand. The DataCore Ready Programme is
designed for software vendors, hardware vendors, hosting service providers and
cloud technology firms who have demonstrated product and solution compatibility
with DataCore products. The DataCore Ready logo helps customers quickly identify
DataCore partner’s products and solutions that are tested and optimized for
