n|Frame Selects DataCore

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- DataCore Software today announced that n|Frame, the Indianapolis regions premier data center and infrastructure solutions provider, has selected SANsymphony™ to best support its clients’ virtualization needs due to the virtualization solution’s hardware independence, high availability, thin provisioning capabilities and performance. Above all, it was imperative for n|Frame to have a virtualized storage area network (SAN) in order to support its strategy for server virtualization. “One of the biggest mistakes a company can make and the biggest single point of failure that companies fall into when implementing a server virtualization strategy is not building it out on top of a SAN that is highly available,” said Eric Beasley, n|Frame senior systems engineer. “In fact, the weakest link of most server virtualization infrastructures is the SAN.”

Beyond providing data center co-location, including offering clients redundant power, Internet connectivity and scalable physical infrastructure, n|Frame offers a robust suite of managed services on top of its five-nines data center. The company offers high availability solutions – including managed routers, firewall, and switch; load balancing; advanced monitoring; replication and backup solutions; and hardware ‘break and fix’ as well as patching for software such as Microsoft and Red Hat. The company also is currently witnessing more and more clients who request VMware in their n|Frame environments.
