DataCore Is 'Citrix Ready'

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. -- DataCore Software Corporation today announced that DataCore SANmelody and SANsymphony™ virtual storage SAN solutions are among the first solutions to be verified for Citrix XenServer™ in the Citrix Ready™ program (www.citrix.com/English/ps2/citrixready/product.asp?contentID=746020). DataCore, the leading provider of hardware independent storage virtualization solutions, is currently validating additional Citrix Ready solutions, including DataCore™ storage virtualization with Citrix Provisioning Server™ and Citrix XenDesktop™, individually and in combination with Citrix XenServer™.

“Storage virtualization goes hand-in-hand with server, desktop and application delivery virtualization,” said George Teixeira, president and CEO, DataCore Software. “DataCore extends the virtual infrastructure all the way through to your storage, giving your storage the same qualities that Citrix virtualization gives your servers, desktops and applications -- flexibility, simplicity, optimal utilization and ease of administration.”

The Citrix Ready program recognizes Citrix partner products that have been validated by Citrix and/or partners to work in Citrix environments, making it simpler for customers to identify solutions that can be used with confidence in Citrix environments.

“Storage is critical to rapidly deploying virtualization solutions, and DataCore’s storage virtualization solutions have been validated with Citrix XenServer” said Barry Davis, VP Business Development at Citrix. “DataCore’s affordable, high availability, SAN storage solutions will help our mutual customers to overcome the cost barriers and complexity that SAN storage can present.”
