Storage Virtualization Software
Essential To Your Citrix®
Virtualization Strategy

Experience SANs with the highest availability, fastest performance and fullest utilization

DataCore offers StorageLink Adapter for XenServer and Hyper-V
"We're pleased to announce availability of the first 3rd party developed adapter for Citrix StorageLink™ adapter, offered by DataCore™."- Simon Crosby, CTO

"Without the Citrix XenServer and DataCore combination, we would not have been able to afford to consolidate our servers and install a SAN to protect our storage," said Gayle Spencer, Sherron Associates.

Virtually everything hinges on storage. Server and desktop consolidation, in particular, place extraordinary demands on it. Too often, disks slow down, interrupt or endanger these centralized IT operations not because they are poorly designed or built, but because they are physically constrained. Citrix® XenServer™ virtualization helps you to overcome similar limitations in CPU and memory, however, when it comes to advanced functions such as workload migration, load balancing, fail-over and disaster recovery, server virtualization is completely dependent on highly available (HA) shared storage. You will be shocked at the high hardware costs and major overhaul generally proposed to put such a storage infrastructure in place.

DataCore™ storage virtualization software delivers a radically simple, high availability solution to meet Citrix XenServer, Citrix XenDesktop™ and Citrix XenApp™ shared storage requirements. The software abstracts your storage into idealized, virtual disks akin to virtual machines. It pools and mirrors disk blocks across available devices, despite differences in make and model. In the process, it speeds up I/O response and throughput using extensive SAN-wide caching. This lets you take optimum advantage of Citrix’s full suite of capabilities without hesitation. From a central console, you can non-disruptively provision, share, clone, replicate and expand virtual disks among physical servers and VMs. DataCore yields the highest availability, fastest performance and fullest utilization from your storage assets, making it an essential element of your Citrix infrastructure deployment.
