“TwinStrata and DataCore are making it possible for users to easily include cloud storage as a transparent extension of their existing data center storage environment,” said Terri McClure, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. “This gives companies greater control over storage performance and helps control costs by making it easy to tier their storage across the absolute widest range of resources, from high-performance SSD arrays and legacy disk arrays, to scalable, cost-effective cloud storage.”

“SANsymphony-V was designed to help customers get the maximum performance, availability and utilization from the storage devices in their data centers,” said Carlos Carreras, VP of alliances at DataCore. “By bundling the TwinStrata CloudArray appliance with our SANsymphony-V, we give our customers even more flexibility and greater cost control by enabling them to include cloud storage in their virtual storage architecture.”

“DataCore storage virtualization software enables us to maximize storage pool resource utilization to ensure high performance and availability for our clients,” said Jason Schuerhoff, vice president of sales at Sublime Solution, a global IT reseller and services company specializing in virtualization solutions. “Using it with CloudArray to integrate cloud storage into the mix will enable us to create some exciting new storage configurations that further reduce costs and increase storage scalability for customers.”
