Nomura Research Institute and DataCore Lower Cost to Manage Explosive Data Growth
Solutions for Financial and Logistics Industries Enabled by Storage Virtualization Technology
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. (July 13, 2004) — Nomura Research Institute, Ltd (NRI) and DataCore Software today announced that the companies will jointly deliver comprehensive storage management solutions aimed at the finance and logistics industries. Utilizing DataCore SANsymphony™ hardware-independent storage virtualization technology, NRI plans to increase the efficiency and enhance the quality of service these customers obtain from their storage resources -- while dramatically reducing their acquisition and operating costs.
Until now, firms with heterogeneous storage equipment have been required to employ multiple operating procedures specific to each vendor's system. The new solution from the NRI / DataCore partnership enables users to manage diverse equipment with a common, centralized approach. It also allows customers to defer major capacity purchases until they are ready to be used, rather than stockpiling excess disk space when they first install it. Some SANsymphony customers report that their acquisition and operating costs have been reduced by more than 50% through more efficient storage utilization and simpler storage management.
DataCore is recognized among the leading storage management software providers not only in Japan, but also worldwide. Its SANsymphony software controls and monitors multi-vendor storage systems with advanced features such as logical volume management, high-speed caching, remote mirroring, automated storage provisioning, point in time snapshots, and asynchronous IP replication.
NRI provides the 'know-how' as well as the project management skills necessary to design and implement complete heterogeneous storage management systems for the Japanese market. NRI's rich consulting and system integration experience in concert with DataCore's SANsymphony software encompasses administrative operations, storage consolidation and expansion, planning and integration for low cost and reliable disaster recovery. Their enhanced IT practices result in significant ROI.
