Astute ViSX Appliance Certified by DataCore

Astute
Networks, Inc., a provider of storage appliances, announced
that Astute ViSX has been certified by DataCore
Software Corporation as a DataCore Ready solution which has
been validated for use with DataCore SANsymphony-V storage hypervisor-based
infrastructures.

Together, the companies deliver storage performance and
availability for virtualized environments.

"Astute’s
ViSX solid state storage appliances offer incredible performance and are one of
the most cost effective ways to dramatically increase application performance,"
said Carlos Carreras, VP of alliances and business development, DataCore.
"Combined DataCore and Astute
customers benefit from a flexible storage infrastructure that is capable of
dynamically tiering and migrating workloads and data without downtime. We are
excited to add Astute ViSX to our expanding list of ‘DataCore Ready’ solution
providers."

DataCore and Astute solutions work together
to optimize the performance and availability of virtualized infrastructures.
DataCore Nodes provide storage virtualization functionality, including caching,
thin provisioning, snapshots, replication and continuous data protection of
virtual volumes. Astute breaks application performance barriers by resolving
critical I/O bottlenecks with the ViSX family of SSD flash-based storage appliances.
The joint solution is for cost-constrained multi-vendor IT organizations
deploying desktop and server virtualization with a need for a DR and BC
solution.

"DataCore
delivers sophisticated storage virtualization technologies to overcome
device-specific differences and limitations so that customers may experience
non-stop, lightning-fast storage infrastructure," said Len Rosenthal,
SVP of marketing, Astute Networks. "When
paired with our ViSX performance storage appliances, the DataCore SANsymphony-V
solution simplifies overall management, increases data availability, and
cost-optimizes the entire virtual and physical infrastructure."

DataCore Ready Program
The DataCore Ready program identifies solutions
that are trusted to enhance SANsymphony-V storage hypervisor-based
infrastructures. While DataCore solutions interoperate with common open and
industry standard products, those listed as DataCore Ready have completed
additional verification testing to ensure a superior level of joint solution
compatibility. Only third party products that successfully meet the
verification criteria set by DataCore are qualified as DataCore Ready.

The DataCore Ready program is designed for
software vendors, hardware vendors, hosting service providers and cloud
technology firms who have demonstrated product and solution compatibility with
DataCore products. The DataCore Ready logo helps customers identify
DataCore partner’s products and solutions that are tested and optimized for SANsymphony-V.

DataCore and Astute will be at the VMware
Partner Exchange conference in Las Vegas, NE on February 25-28.
