VMworld
2015 News Roundup – Slideshow of Top Stories
This
week virtualization giant VMware (VMW) held its annual VMworld customer
conference in San Francisco, and as always there was no shortage of
virtualization-centric news from partner companies. Since reading pages and
pages of press releases is no fun for anyone, we decided to compile some of the
biggest announcements going on at this year’s show.
DataCore Unveils Parallel I/O Software
Software-defined storae vendor DataCore Software unveiled
its new parallel I/O software at VMworld, which was designed to help users
eliminate bottlenecks associated with running multi-core processing systems.
The company also announced a new worldwide partnership with Curvature to
provide users with a procurement and lifecycle model for their storage
products, data services and centralized management.

- Hyperconvergence: Hype and Promise
The
field is evolving as lower-cost options start to emerge.
…Plus,
the latest innovation from DataCore -- something called Parallel I/O that I'll
be writing about in greater detail in my next column -- promises to convert
that Curvature gear (or any other hardware platform with which DataCore's SDS
is used) into the fastest storage infrastructure on the planet -- bar none.
Whether this new technology from DataCore is used with new gear, used gear, or
to build HCI appliances, it rocks. More later.

Back to basics: Why we need hardware-agnostic storage | #VMworld
In
a world full of hyper this and flash that, George Teixeira, president
and CEO of DataCore Software Corp., explained how going back to to the basics
will improve enterprise-level storage solutions.
Teixeira
and Dustin Fennell, VP and CIO of EPIC Management, LP, sat down with Dave
Vellante on theCUBE from the SiliconANGLE Media team
at VMworld 2015 to discuss the evolution of architecture and the need to move
toward hardware-agnostic storage solutions.

FRANCISCO, CA
– August 31, 2015 – DataCore
Software,
a leader in Software-Defined Storage, will use the backdrop of VMworld 2015 to
show its hyper-converged ‘less is more’ architecture. Most
significantly, VMware customers and partners will see first-hand DataCore’s
adaptive parallel I/O harnessing today’s multi-core processing systems to
eliminate the major bottleneck holding back the IT industry – I/O performance.
"It really is a
perfect storm," said DataCore Chairman Ziya Aral. "The combination of
ever-denser
multi-core processors with efficient CPU/memory designs and DataCore’s parallel I/O software create a new class of storage servers and hyper-converged systems that change the math of storage performance in our industry...and not by just a little bit. As we publish an ever-wider array of benchmarks and real-world performance results, the real impact of this storm will become clear."

At booth #835, DataCore’s staff of technical consultants will discuss the
state-of-the-art techniques used to achieve much greater VM densities needed to
respond to the demanding I/O needs of enterprise-class, tier-1 applications.
DataCore will highlight performance optimizations for intense data processing
and I/O workloads found in mainstream online transaction processing (OLTP)
systems, real-time analytics, business intelligence and data warehouses. These
breakthroughs have proven most valuable in the mission-critical lines of
business applications based on Microsoft SQL Server, SAP and Oracle databases
that are at the heart of every major enterprise.
Other
announcements and innovations important to VMware customers and partners will
also be featured by DataCore at VMworld. These include:
·
