SANsymphony 6.0: A New User-Driven Era in Storage
and SAN Infrastructure Management
“Just buying more hardware would not have solved our problems.
We needed a smarter approach that would allow us to control and
automate storage across our entire environment, and decided to
‘go virtual’ with DataCore.”
“Once you do so and look back, the old storage box approach
seems so primitive. SANsymphony 6.0 made the jump easy. We
run DataCore in tandem with VMware and together they allocate
resources as needed, where needed, over our IP and Fibre
Channel networks. Instead of wrestling with hardware,
SANsymphony has made storage a network utility – a service for
our users and applications.”
- Michael Gayle, Director of IT, Calvary Chapel.

SANsymphony 6.0: A New User-Driven Era in Storage
and SAN Infrastructure Management
“Storage virtualization is a game for experienced players. During
the six years that DataCore has been in business they did the
basics and learned a lot from their customers. They are applying
this knowledge now in building a platform for the future that
addresses a range of services that newcomers have yet to fathom.
After the announcement of Enterprise Edition 6.0, if someone
thinks DataCore is a niche player, think again! The timing couldn't
be better as we see 2007 as the "year storage virtualization goes
mainstream."
– Arun Taneja, Founder, President and Consulting Analyst of the Taneja Group.

SANsymphony 6.0: A New User-Driven Era in Storage
and SAN Infrastructure Management
“DataCore Software’s SANsymphony 6.0 represents the next
generation of virtualization. It begins to change the focus of the
conversation from how companies manage their storage to how they
manage their enterprise.”
- Jerome M. Wendt, Chief Analyst and President, Datacenter Infrastructure Group Inc.

Industry-standard storage and infrastructures can be managed as sets of
services and shared resources that can be dynamically defined for and
allocated to different business units or projects.
IT Managers can regulate and automate adding capacity, data protection levels,
and performance non-disruptively based on business demand.
Storage hardware failures can be automatically overcome with no or minimal
disruption.
Business data can be protected with no impact to production SLAs.
Applications can be provisioned with storage instantly and recovered at the
same or remote locations easily regardless of the operating system and
hardware.

Next-Gen N+1 GRID Scalability, Business Continuity
and Data Protection
 Map any virtual volume
to any app server
 Only virtual volumes are
paired not SDS (not a
cluster, not a dual
controller)
 Nodes do not share state
 High-availability (H/A)
virtual volumes are
independent of hardware
failures including any
SDS
 Faster restoration of H/A
on failure
 Optimally amortizes cost
of redundancy

Enterprise iSCSI and Network Agnostic
21
"SANsymphony 6.0 makes it practical to build robust, scalable SANs using
standard IP networks and LANs utilizing iSCSI protocols."
 Industry first solution to support path failover across either Fiber Channel or iSCSI
or both. FC primary path and iSCSI secondary failover path or vice versa.
 N+1 architecture upgrade and scale storage servers using iSCSI links
 Network-wide storage services available over iSCSI and or FC infrastructures.
 IP-based, Synchronous and Asynchronous remote site disaster recovery services
 SANmotion services over iSCSI for simple data migration.
 Diskless ‘Boot’ from SAN and rapid emergency recovery for iSCSI IP SANs.
 iSCSI serves: Microsoft Clusters, VMs (e.g., VMware ESX) and Blade Servers.
“In order to gain modern storage functionality and failover protection features,
one often has to give up iSCSI altogether. DataCore rectifies that."
- Ziya Aral, CTO and Chairman, DataCore Software
22

Virtualization II
“SANsymphony Enterprise Edition 6.0 is the first half of our
Virtualization II strategy and as such it lays the architectural foundation
for our future.”
“Many of the changes involved in the Virtualization II platform are
internal and will remain largely invisible to the user. What is readily
visible, however, is a new level of transparency and integration,
grouped operations, and automated management. Several new and
important concepts also appear for the first time. In the second half of
Virtualization II, these capabilities will continue to be advanced and
SANsymphony will be updated with an entirely new 64-bit storage
micro-kernel."
-Ziya Aral, Chairman and CTO, DataCore Software.
