DataCore, the leader in Parallel-Powered Software-Defined Storage,
Application-Adaptive Data Infrastructure and Hyper-converged
Virtual SAN solutions, today
announced that its Adaptive Parallel I/O software was named a Gold winner in
the Storage System Software category of the 2015 Products of the Year Awards
announced this month by Storage Magazine/SearchStorage.com.
The awards, presented annually by the editors of TechTarget's Storage Media
Group, were judged by the Storagemagazine/SearchStorage.com
editorial staff, in conjunction with a team of users, industry experts,
analysts and consultants.
The judging panel rated DataCoreTM Adaptive
Parallel I/O first in performance among the 13 finalists in the Storage System
Software category. Comments from the judges included that there is nothing else
like DataCore's Adaptive Parallel I/O on the market, and one called the software "potentially
revolutionary." Another noted that most software-defined storage products,
or storage virtualization, are not capable of parallel I/O.
The award comes on the
heels of DataCore setting a new world record for price-performance in the
Storage Performance Council's SPC-1, the industry's most recognized and peer
reviewed storage benchmark. Due in large part to the breakthroughs of parallel
I/O technology that harnesses the untapped power of multi-core processors,
DataCore achieved an audited SPC-1 Price-Performance of $0.08 per SPC-1
IOPS, making it the number one result for SPC-1 Price-Performance overall. This
result was certified with DataCore's SANsymphony and Hyper-converged Virtual
SAN software featuring parallel I/O technology on a powerful 2U Lenovo System
x3650 M5 multi-core server featuring Intel® Xeon E5-2600 v3 series processors.
On this same platform, DataCore also booked record-breaking response times of
0.32 milliseconds at 100% load. At the incredibly fast 0.32 milliseconds
response time, the results are 3x-10x better than all other reported results
including those from all-flash arrays and million dollar plus systems.
Additionally, DataCore
received a Silver Stevie Award for the Front-Line Customer Service Team of the
Year - Technology Industries Category of The Stevie Awards for Sales &
Customer Service in March, the world's leading sales, business development, contact
center, and customer service awards. This tops off a banner year
for DataCore in 2015 when its SANsymphony-V and DataCore Hyper-Converged
Virtual SAN both received the Virtualization Review 2015
Editor's Choice Awards, with DataCore SANsymphony-V being called one editors'
"favorite technology product in 2015." The readers of Storage-Insider
and IT Business also awarded SANsymphony-V with the Reader's Choice
Award for Best Software-Defined Storage.
Furthermore, Enterprise
Management Associates (EMA) named DataCore Software's SANsymphony-V the
"Best Enterprise Solution for Software-Defined Storage" in the EMA Radar Report for Enterprise
Software-Defined Storage. DataCore SANsymphony-V was named a category value leader in
the same report.
