Virtual Iron Certifies DataCore’s SANmelody

Virtual Iron has announced that they have now certified DataCore’s virtual storage solution, SANmelody, for use with Virtual Iron’s server virtualization software.

The combined offering delivers an enterprise-class server virtualization and storage virtualization solution to the mainstream market at a very attractive and affordable price. Virtual Iron prides itself on its very competitive pricing, and yet still seems to be able to offer enterprise-class server virtualization solutions to meet the demands of server consolidation, development and test, business continuity and dynamic capacity management. At the same time, DataCore meets similar needs by virtualizing storage at a reasonable price as it converts PC servers into cost-effective disk servers and virtual SANs.

“SANmelody allows customers to build cost-effective and flexible storage networks delivering the highest levels of data protection using standard servers and networks,” said George Teixeira, President and CEO, DataCore Software. “Together, Virtual Iron and DataCore are dramatically changing the economics of virtualization and delivering enterprise-class capabilities and ROI to the mainstream market.”

“Networked storage unlocks the power of virtualization by allowing virtual servers to freely migrate to any server in the data center,” said John C. Thibault, President and CEO, Virtual Iron Software. “However, to date, the price of existing networked storage has excluded much of the market from these benefits. DataCore SANmelody and Virtual Iron together deliver advanced capabilities at a fraction of the cost, enabling enterprise-class virtualization for the mainstream market.”
