2. How does SANsymphony help solve storage issues that business face today?
SANsymphony significantly reduces the costs to acquire, implement, maintain, administer and grow a Storage Area Network (SAN), effectively removing the barrier to entry for organizations seeking the benefits of shared networked storage.
It does this by addressing the need to rapidly expand storage capacity without shutting down applications servers for hardware reconfiguration. It also addresses the wasteful underutilization of storage assets to ensure the highest ROI is realized on these resources.
At the root of these problems are host operating systems that expect to exclusively own devices attached to them, be they internally housed, externally attached or SAN-connected. The operating systems prevent servers that have exhausted their capacity from tapping into available space on adjacent servers.
SANsymphony frees the captive storage and turns it into a virtual network storage pool so that available space can be allocated where needed and when needed without the artificial boundaries of server ownership. It allows storage administrators to size the virtual volumes according to application requirements, without regard to the physical constraints of the storage devices.
SANsymphony also provides investment protection by allowing existing storage assets lacking native Fibre Channel connectivity to be seamlessly included in advanced network storage pools.
