The 451 Group:
Storage virtualization stalwart DataCore reels in $30m funding round, adds NAS
"DataCore has taken in $30m in VC funding from Insight Venture Partners and Updata Partners…The company's recent strategy to tap into server virtualization appears to be paying dividends. It's adding 300 customers a quarter, and hopes to finish 2008 with 5,000 in total...DataCore attributes its recent renaissance to its decision to work directly with server virtualization resellers instead of selling through more traditional storage channels… DataCore has persevered through the tough times to get where it is today, but all that hard work now appears to be paying off…"
IDC:
Product Flash: DataCore Takes Virtualization to the Next Level
This IDC Flash discusses the announcement by DataCore Software of the availability of VM Starter SAN that runs on VMware, Sun, Oracle, Virtual Iron, Microsoft, and Citrix XenServer virtualization platforms. This is a new, unique offering that simplifies server consolidation, especially in remote offices, and business continuity.
"…opens up an opportunity to increase DataCore's revenue by capturing the segment of the market that has not been able to afford such a solution as well as improves DataCore's market share from where it is currently (with an estimated market share of
2.5% for 2007)."
Jon William Toigo:
Enterprise Systems journal: DataCore Has Reason to Celebrate
"At the end of the day, DataCore Software, once dismissed by the storage industry analyst community, is enjoying a renaissance in the U.S. market, capitalizing on a mixture of trends ranging from the current fascination with server virtualization and storage thin provisioning (which they pioneered), to a shift in buyer habits that favor software over proprietary hardware and iSCSI over Fibre Channel…"
Taneja Group:
DataCore storage virtualization and SAN solutions run 'hardware-free' on virtual machines
According to Arun Taneja, Founder, president and consulting analyst of the Taneja Group, "What DataCore has done here by putting DataCore virtual storage servers on virtual machines is a subtle way of further emphasizing that its hardware independent software solutions can go places and do things that hardware-based solutions can't because of their physicality and built-in limitations on the other devices and systems with which they will work. This will not be lost on the server virtualization players, like VMware, Microsoft and Xensource, and is likely to spur opportunities for technical and commercial collaboration with DataCore."

Ideas International:
Storage Is a Key Aspect of Server Virtualization
"While most vendors at VMworld were understandably rushing to support VMware, DataCore announced support for server virtualization platforms Xensource and Microsoft Virtual Iron in addition to VMware. DataCore's SANsymphony, Traveller, and SANmelody products allow virtual SAN storage servers to be created on VMs. Such a capability provides an extra level of integration and collaboration between server and storage virtualization…"

Aligning Network-Based Storage Virtualization With Business Needs
(Jerome Wendt)
"DataCore's SAN Domains begin to change the focus of the conversation
from how companies manage their storage to how they manage their
enterprise."
DataCore Software's SANsymphony 6.0's inclusion of SAN Domains into its
architecture takes network-based storage virtualization to a new level
in providing users with greater control to regulate service levels and
manage their performance and resource usage. This capability now puts
network-based storage virtualization on par with the state of the art
advances seen in LAN and server based virtualization technologies. By
allowing companies to create SAN Domains in their virtualized storage
infrastructures, SANsymphony delivers the virtualized, consolidated
storage infrastructure that companies want and the appropriate levels of
control and flexibility that they need to operate successfully in
today's corporate computing infrastructure.
