FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Nov. 12 – DataCore Software, the storage hypervisor leader and premier provider of storage virtualization software, invites attendees of SC12, the international conference for high performance computing (HPC), networking, storage and analysis, to explore innovative new ways to take advantage of Fusion-io flash memory technologies in data-intensive environments. DataCore will be exhibiting in Fusion-io booth #2201 at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, November 12-15, 2012.
DataCore will showcase its SANsymphony-V storage hypervisor integrated with the Fusion ioMemory platform to meet the large scale, low-latency needs of HPC applications common to many SC12 visitors. Attendees will learn how DataCore applies state-of-the-art auto-tiering technology to dynamically distribute I/O workloads between blazing fast Fusion-io flash memory and conventional high-density disk farms for an optimal price/performance balance.
Experts will also be on hand to give advice on how to eliminate crippling single points of failure by using the SANsymphony-V software to mirror data between redundant, multi-tier storage pools.
Fusion-io products are well known for accelerating databases, cloud computing, big data and HPC applications in a variety of industries, including e-commerce, social media, finance, government and telecommunications. Combined with DataCore's storage hypervisor, customers not only enjoy higher performance and availability, but also superior flexibility and exceptional value from their storage investments.
"High performance computing requires applications to process data at speeds that transform data into discovery," said Tyler Smith, Fusion-io vice president of alliances. "Like other data-driven webscale and enterprise organizations, HPC innovators are also cost-conscious and mindful of data protection. Our collaboration with DataCore Software provides a powerful integrated solution that ensures data and applications are available and ready to efficiently deliver peak performance."
"SC12 provides a fantastic backdrop to convey the joint value resulting from DataCore's long-standing relationship with Fusion-io. We are seeing great results with many customers leveraging our combined hardware and software capabilities as the centerpiece for their most demanding workloads," adds Carlos Carreras, vice president of alliances and business development at DataCore Software.
SC12 is the premier international conference for high-performance computing, networking, storage and analysis. The conference is expecting 10,000 attendees representing more than 50 countries and 366 exhibitors. Exhibits and technical presentations at SC12 will offer a look at the state-of-the art solutions in high performance computing and a glimpse of the future.
