description DataCore SANsymphony Overview
DataCore SANsymphony provides enterprise-level disaster recovery through software-defined replication. It creates copies of data across various storage platforms enabling automated failover to a secondary site. This solution is designed for organizations requiring high availability and business continuity, particularly those managing complex IT environments with diverse storage infrastructure.
help DataCore SANsymphony FAQ
Can DataCore SANsymphony be used for synchronous replication?
Yes, DataCore SANsymphony supports both synchronous and asynchronous replication, allowing you to achieve a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of zero. Synchronous mirroring is typically used for highly critical databases where absolutely no data loss can be tolerated during a site failure.
Does DataCore SANsymphony require specific hardware to run?
No, SANsymphony is a completely software-defined storage (SDS) platform that installs onto standard x86 Windows servers. This hardware-agnostic approach means you can use older, heterogeneous hard drives and SSDs to pool storage into a centralized, highly available virtual SAN.
How does SANsymphony speed up my disaster recovery times?
The software aggressively caches read and write operations in the RAM of the DataCore server nodes, bypassing the latency of slower physical spinning disks. This dramatically speeds up application performance, ensuring recovery and business continuity happen almost instantly.
Can DataCore SANsymphony integrate with VMware vSphere?
Yes, DataCore presents its storage pools to VMware vSphere environments via standard iSCSI or Fibre Channel protocols. It is fully certified under the VMware Ready program, allowing vCenter administrators to manage DataCore LUNs directly from the vSphere client.
