Review on DataCore Software-Defined Storage by Brian Page

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fastest way of getting extra storage space

Using DCSS for VMWare environments that require high throughput IOPS performance and very little latency is perfect fit! It has made our environment much faster than before by adding multiple SSD drives per VM instance which improved I/O significantly.DCSS also allows creating VMs without ESX or physical servers. This was a game changer not only for us but also other customers we have been working with as well. Nothing so far. Have you ever needed more capacity then what it offers? We are solving this problem using several Virtual Machines each having 4x2TB HDD disks configured together with DCSS. Before that there were no such solutions out there allowing us to scale up even further.

Pros
  • High Performance, low Latency
  • Multiple SATA Disks can be used at once (up 6) instead one disk drive.
  • Easy scaling through configuration files like vm_vmconfigs folder in Datacore storage account container
Cons
  • I will keep silent
