Xiotech) The underlying elements of
data storage remain more or less the same and have been unable to keep pace with changing business requirements. Xiotech offers a fresh approach with its Intelligent
storage Element: A
storage foundation that sets new standards for reliability, performance, and scalability.
DataCore Software announced that its two
storage virtualization solutions, SANsymphony and SANmelody, have been verified as Citrix Ready for XenServer 4.1 as virtual SAN appliances running on XenServer virtual machines as well as in a standard physical
storage server configuration. Rigorous testing verified that both implementations will support XenServer 4.1 virtual machines with virtual
storage and advanced
storage services critical to demanding virtual server environments, such as fail-safe
data protection, high availability mirroring, disaster recovery replication, SANmotion
data migration, thin provisioning
storage pools and high speed caching for performance acceleration.
