In-Band's Virtual Song: Page 2 of 2

At least one analyst who saw DataCore as a high-volume low-end play until now says the new features should make SANsymphony enterprise-ready. "DataCore graduated into an enterprise storage virtualization player with this release," Arun Taneja of the Taneja Group says. "I had always shoved them into the SMB category before."

DataCore isn't home free yet with SANsymphony. It still has to prove itself in the field, convince customers to use its software instead of IBM's, and eventually hold off switch-based virtualization. Still, it's not bad for a company that was on wobbly legs a few years back. (See DataCore Sacks Some Sales Staffers.)
