New Hyper-Converged Reference Architectures, VM-aware VVOL
Provisioning, Rapid vSphere Deployment Wizards and Virtual Server Performance
Breakthroughs Also on Display
At
Barcelona, Spain, DataCore Software,
a leader in Software-Defined Storage and Hyper-converged Virtual SANs, is showcasing
its adaptive parallel I/O software to VMware customers and partners at VMworld
Europe 2015. The revolutionary software technology uniquely harnesses today’s
multi-core processing systems to maximize server consolidation, cost savings
and application productivity by eliminating the major bottleneck holding back
the IT industry – I/O performance. DataCore will also use the backdrop of
VMworld Europe 2015 to debut “Proven Design” reference architectures, a
powerful vSphere deployment wizard for hyper-converged virtual SANs and the
next update of SANsymphony™-V Software-Defined Storage
which extends vSphere Virtual Volume (VVOLs) support to new and already
installed flash and disk-based storage systems lacking this powerful
capability.
"The combination of ever-denser multi-core processors with
efficient CPU/memory designs and DataCore’s adaptive parallel I/O software
creates a new class of storage servers and hyper-converged systems that change
the math of storage performance...and not by just a fraction,” said DataCore
Chairman Ziya Aral. “As we begin to publish ongoing real-world performance
benchmarks in the very near future, the impact of this breakthrough will become
very clear."
At booth #S118, DataCore’s technical staff will discuss the
state-of-the-art techniques used to accelerate performance and achieve much
greater VM densities needed to respond to the demanding I/O needs of
enterprise-class, tier-1 applications. DataCore will highlight performance
optimizations for intense data processing and I/O workloads found in online
transaction processing (OLTP) systems, real-time analytics, business
intelligence and data warehouses. These breakthroughs have proven most valuable
in the mission-critical lines of business applications based on Microsoft SQL
Server, SAP and Oracle databases that are at the heart of every major
enterprise.
Universal Virtual Volumes:
Extends VMware’s VVOL Benefits to Storage Systems that do not Support it
Many VMware administrators crave the power and fine-grain control
promised by vSphere Virtual Volumes (VVOLs). However, most current storage
arrays and systems do not support it. Manufacturers simply cannot afford to
retrofit equipment with the new VM-aware interface.
DataCore offers these
customers the chance to benefit from VVOLs on EMC, IBM, HDS, NetApp and other
popular storage systems and all flash arrays simply by layering SANsymphony™-V
storage virtualization software in front of them. The same is true for
direct-attached storage (DAS) pooled by the DataCore™ Hyper-converged Virtual SAN.
Now, vSphere administrators can self-provision virtual volumes
from virtual storage pools -- they specify the capacity and class of service
without having to know anything about the hardware.
Other announcements and
innovations important to VMware customers and partners will also be featured by
DataCore at VMworld Europe. These include:
·
Hyper-converged software
solutions for enterprise applications and high-end OLTP workloads utilizing DataCore™ Adaptive Parallel I/O software
·
New “Proven Design” reference
architectures for Lenovo, Dell, Huawei, Fujitsu and Cisco servers spanning
high-end, midrange and smaller configurations
·
A worldwide partnership
with Curvature to provide users a novel
procurement and lifecycle model for storage products, data services and
centralized management that is cost-disruptive
·
vSphere Deployment Wizard
to quickly roll out DataCore™ Hyper-converged Virtual SAN software on ESXi
clusters
·
Stretch cluster
capabilities ideal for splitting hyper-converged systems over metro distances
·
Breakout Session: DataCore
will discuss the topics of Software-Defined Storage and application
virtualization in the Solutions Exchange Theatre.
