Increase Your Mission Critical Application Performance without Breaking the Bank

Editor's Notes

• #2: Updated: May 2, 2014Key Points: Introduce yourself, be yourself Sample Talk track: Software defined storage is a hot topic these days. EMC and NetApp have both unveiled their software defined storage strategies in the last few months. VMware has announced their VSAN product. My goal today is for us to have an informative discussion for you around all this software defined storage hype. Transition to next slide: DataCore is in a unique position to comment on this subject…
• #12: Key points: Explain what auto-tiering does Sample Talk Track: DataCore allows you to create tiers of storage from your existing hardware. Create top tiers with your highest performance hardware and lower tiers for your more cost effective gear. Then auto-tiering will constantly optimize and tune to your specific environment and the needs of your applications. When demand for a specific block of data increases it is automatically migrated to a higher tier of storage to ensure applications get the maximum available performance. Transition to next slide: This isn’t only done at the application level though…

• #14: Key Points: Talk about the way DataCore replicates between unlike systems Show how this allows you to prevent downtime Show how this allows you to failover and back from unlike systems Talk about how this architecture can be used for seamless data migrations and hardware refreshes
• #16: Key Points: DataCore offers a long term solution to managing your data no matter how much it grows Sample Talk Track: Most of environments fall in one of two situations. They have disparate storage systems and are frustrated because they are incompatible They feel locked into a single storage vendor and are frustrated with rising support costs, forklift upgrades and equipment being EOL’d DataCore solves both of these problems. If you’re locked into one vendor, virtualization will allow you to easily break out. If you have a variety of devices, DataCore will make them work together. Additionally, DataCore offers the ability to start considering lower cost storage systems for archieving. We also provide you a platform that puts you in a position to take full advantage of future advancements in storage hardware. Once virtualized, you can continue to integrate new hardware technologies as new things are developed. I really don’t know what’s coming next, but know that new things will happen and a long-term strategy for data storage needs to be open to new stuff. That’s exactly what DataCore is; a long-term strategy to protect your storage investments
• #26: Please clarify if we can claim a 10x or 100x performance of applications
