Once a company moves into the digital world... information just piles up. You've got to have some place to put it." “Software - do more with less” “Storage Virtualization let’s you get the most from your existing investments.” “ DataCore Software...I see their storage virtualization software today offering even greater value in the context of the recessionary economy.” - Jon Toigo, Storage Industry Analyst

Accelerate performance 2-4X: Get more work done faster! Simplify Management: Universal Commands, Automation, etc. Ratio of DAS to SAN costs = 3 to 10X Better Productivity Pooling of cost-effective storage = Choice of Savings Do More with Less in the same given time. Avg. Admin Burdened Cost = $75,000+  More Uptime – SANs dramatically increase availablity: Auto Failover/Failback, Disk Backups, CDP, etc, Auto Failover/Failback, Disk Backups, CDP, etc, Average revenue lost per employee-hour is $ employee impact = $27,500 per hour DAS = 98.0% uptime (60 hours/yr downtime) SAN = 99.9%+ uptime (1hour/yr downtime or less)
