DataCore Announces Auto-Tiering Storage for SANsymphony-V Customers

DataCore Software is expanding with a device-independent auto-tiering option that is free for existing enterprise customers of its SANsymphony-V product. This auto-tiering storage provides a layer of intelligence that stores the most critical data in the highest-performing resources (such as SSDs), while less-critical data is stored in lower-cost disks.As noted on Network Computing, in multivendor storage hardware environments, customers can immediately take advantage by automating and dynamically optimizing tiered storage capacity.

"Storage guru George Crump of Storage Switzerland says automated tiering has an important role, but he doesn't think it is a "must-have". ‘It is a must-have if you have a performance profile that can take advantage of the performance it can deliver--just like everything else in IT. If you need to broadly increase storage I/O across multiple applications, then automated tiering can provide significant value. If your applications aren't pushing your current storage platform, putting faster storage in won't make that big of a difference. If you are at that wall--and an increasing number of storage managers are, thanks to virtualization, online applications and growing databases--then automated tiering may be a must-have for you.’"
