DataCore^™ vFilO.^™

Distributed file and object storage virtualisation.

DataCore^™ vFilO^™ software offers distributed file and object storage virtualisation. The DataCore solutions are characterised by unprecedented visibility and control over widely-scattered data spread across NAS, file servers, and object stores across multiple sites through a multi-site, keyword-searchable global namespace.

Unprecedented visibility and control over widely-scattered data.

vFilO combines the capabilities of a scale-out distributed file systems while delivering on the benefits of an object storage system, supporting NFS, SMB, and S3 protocol access to the same set of data.

It continuously migrates, load balances and safeguards data among on-premises and cloud storage tiers using ML and arbitrage modelling to optimise for cost, performance, capacity, availability, compliance as well as other business objectives.

Inactive data is de-duplicated, compressed, and moved to lower cost storage such as a cloud S3 bucket. DataCore’s enterprise-class, scale-out data services are unconstrained by hardware infrastructure or geography and include live data mobility, self-service undelete, snapshots/clones and replication at any level of granularity.

BEFORE.

Separate Filer ⟶ FRUSTRATING!

Must know the specific filer and directory/folder hierarchy to store or find anything.

AFTER.

Global namespace with tags ⟶ EASY!

Keyword search and automatic load balancing are no longer constrained by organisational hierarchy

AUTONOMIC DATA PLACEMENT.

ADVANTAGES.

Visibility and control.

Measurably improve productivity and collaboration across sites with faster, easier access to files and multimedia.
Benefit from a better overview of your unstructured storage devices in a central intelligent system.
Fulfil data governance obligations through explicit policies or high level objectives.
Derive new business insights gleaned from metadata.

Ultimate flexibility.

Expand and modernise as needed with no dependency on device or manufacturer
Integrate new server and storage technologies alongside existing equipment without painful and expensive upgrades.
Store data where it makes most sense, traversing sites and hardware architectures, based on explicit policies.
The power of object and file access methods in one system with multi-protocol support.

Efficiency & simplicity.

Recover time lost shuffling files around and backing them up.
Avoid disruptive data migrations.
Unify management of different types and profiles of data under one system.
Automate data placement and tracking to optimise capacity and control costs while meeting performance and availability objectives

COMPELLING ECONOMICS.

Modernise while maximising the value from existing equipment without having to rip out and replace perfectly good assets.

Save by transparently relocating inactive data and replicas on lower cost object based storage, deduped and compressed, yet remaining easily accessible as before if needed.
