DataCore SANsymphony Reviews

We use it as part of the PCA. And also to recycle berries for which we deport their native intelligence on DataCore.

DataCore SANsymphony has improved our organization in terms of performance, data security and maintenance plan. We can stop one of our machine rooms without interruption of service to the user.

The most useful feature is the continuity of service and the associated performance. It brings great flexibility.

Additional features that should be included in the next release are "application performance and storage" (new tuning and troubleshooting options).

Installation of this hyper-converged infrastructure in our school this summer with two servers directly attached. It works perfectly!!

• DataCore SANsymphony allows us to have a reliable, fast and easy administration infrastructure.
• We have a reliable and secure infrastructure thanks to SANsymphony, and all at less cost.

• The parallel I/O function is very useful when there are many requests for read/write access to the disks.
  The administration is simple and easy.
• It is possible to create a virtual disk very easily, and moving the virtual machines is fast.
  

The heavy client mode console should be improved by having a web console to improve accessibility. Also, the analysis time on the storage increase is one month now. This could be improved.

The first use case was for our data center at the headquarters. We currently have two server rooms, connected by fibre, and the data is synchronized between both using DataCore.

Since DataCore has been installed, the performance of our server has been improved. During the maintenance periods, on any part of the storage or VMware migration, we have had no downtime.

Recently we decided to deploy DataCore™ Hyperconverged Virtual SAN in our manufactury.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to migrate from one storage area to another one easily. The evolution of the solution by adding new storage without having to go through a difficult migration is very helpful.

I think the performance reporting can be improved by adding historical statistics into a database for the purpose of comparison.

A capacity planning solution would be a great addition.

Easy to manage disk pools, different storage tiers and virtual storage repositories Continuous data protection just takes a single click to enable

Pricing can be confounding with many options

SANsymphony-V offers a comprehensive set of storage virtualization functions to build a very robust storage network that speeds up applications, ensures business continuity and facilitates disaster recovery.

We use the solution for data leakage prevention and information security of the system.

It is a universal solution that manages multiple storage components for different vendors. It integrates well with old storage systems and efficiently synchronizes nodes.

The solution’s interface and ability to manage the data processes could be better.

We have been using the solution for a couple of years.

It is a stable solution. I rate its stability a ten out of ten.

The solution is scalable. I rate its scalability a five out of ten.

I recommend the solution to others and rate it a ten out of ten.

We use DataCore for VMware datastore. Each ESXi can access datastores stored on DataCore servers on different sites.

We don't have to check if sync is good or not between each server, DataCore does it for us and replicates on another site.

Storage access is improved. Just after migration, applications respond faster.

DataCore is very fast storage, applications start faster, and database access is improved. You can attach different storage pool and DataCore chooses where to store data (the most accessed data are on the faster storage automatically).

Replication helps us to replicate virtual servers on different sites easily.

• A web console in HTML5 could help us to manage storage from any computer.
• Veeam cannot directly access to DataCore storage at the moment; this feature would improve snapshot.

We used Dell EMC and NetApp storage before.

The price and performance of DataCore helped us to change our storage.

Check what really needs fast storage and migrate it to DataCore and let low access data be on other storages.

The project was to replace an old SAN (from Dell EMC) with a new system that is more resilient and offers high availability.

We replaced a SAN (Dell EMC) product with two servers and the SANsymphony software. The solution is more scalable and very easy to administrate.

We have gained in scalability. The most valuable feature for us is that we can adjust the size of the storage very easily, without stopping production. The product is easy to administrate.

Even though it is easy to administrate, the initial installation and configuration can be complicated.

The alert system could have more features.

We feel that this solution is very scalable.
