Storage virtualisation software provider DataCore Software and VirtualSharp Software, a provider of automated Disaster Recovery applications, have partnered to integrate storage virtualisation with Disaster Recovery automation to deliver Disaster Recovery Assurance.
The DataCore SANsymphony-V storage hypervisor provides device-independent storage virtualisation that can manage environments of all sizes and roll out scalable storage infrastructures, including cloud.
SANsymphony-V provides snapshots, synchronous mirroring for high availability and asynchronous replication to remote Disaster Recovery sites.
The software tests and verifies the Disaster Recovery procedures periodically without disturbing production activities at other points in the storage environment. It also allows resynchronisation and resumption of a temporarily suspended site.
VirtualSharp Software’s ReliableDR adds automated Disaster Recovery testing for guaranteed push-button failover and failback across clouds.
The ReliableDR works with the SANsymphony-V storage hypervisor to create application and service-aware snapshots at a Disaster Recovery site, enforcing recovery point objectives (RPO) and recovery time objectives (RTO).
DataCore Software Alliances and Business Development vice president Carlos M. Carreras said SMBs, private cloud operators and even the large enterprises require the ability to recover from an IT disaster without losing any data.
"Together with VirtualSharp, we are bringing complete assurance to the cloud and grant IT administrators the peace of mind knowing their information will always be protected and retrievable," Carreras said.
NCE Computer Group Sales director John Greenwood said, "DataCore and VirtualSharp integrate seamlessly to leverage storage and server virtualization and enable highly resilient enterprise clouds."
