Availability Virtual SAN Software Verified in Citrix Ready(TM) Program

Fast, Affordable and Flexible Solutions Simplify IT and Maximize
Business Agility for Joint Customers
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(Business Wire)--DataCore Software Corporation today announced that DataCore
SANmelody(TM) and SANsymphony(TM) virtual storage SAN solutions are
among the first solutions to be verified for Citrix XenServer(TM) in
the Citrix Ready(TM) 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(TM) storage virtualization with
Citrix Provisioning Server(TM) and Citrix XenDesktop(TM), individually
and in combination with Citrix XenServer(TM).

"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."

DataCore solutions convert standard Intel/AMD servers or even
virtual machines (VMs) into fully capable storage servers that
virtualize disks and serve them over existing networks to application
servers. They are simple to operate, take only minutes to install, and
cost-effectively optimize, manage and protect data storage and disk
space.

Citrix Server Virtualization and DataCore Storage Virtualization
Solutions Are Fully Complementary

Server Virtualization with Citrix XenServer(TM). The new Citrix
XenServer product line is an enterprise-class platform for managing
server virtualization in the datacenter. Based on the high-performance
Xen virtualization engine, Citrix XenServer(TM) combines comprehensive
server virtualization capabilities with unparalleled scalability,
performance and ease-of-use. The new product line ranges from Citrix
XenServer Express Edition, an easy-to-use single-server solution
available for free download, to the most comprehensive Citrix
XenServer Enterprise Edition (formerly XenEnterprise).

Storage Virtualization with DataCore SANmelody and SANsymphony.
DataCore virtual SAN storage solutions free storage from the
"hard-wired" constraints of physical storage devices, making storage
and SAN infrastructures fault tolerant, flexible and virtual. It
allows storage to be pooled, shared, served, managed, serviced and
protected as a network software service instead of through the
laborious manipulation of individual, physical storage devices.

With DataCore, storage becomes completely portable and "floats"
across the infrastructure to where it is needed, without moving or
reconnecting physical devices one to the other. In combination with
Citrix virtualization solutions such as XenServer, it is the virtual
storage layer that completes a "Total Enterprise Virtualization"
strategy, providing true mobility for virtual servers and desktops,
while optimizing disk space utilization, accelerating I/O performance
and providing your storage with the same flexibility, ease of
movement, cost savings and ease of administration that only a
virtualization solution can provide.

A Winning Combination

"Our production environment is highly demanding, but we have met
all our objectives with DataCore SANmelody and Citrix XenServer," said
Philippe Ottin, System Manager for Weishardt Group, one of Europe's
largest manufacturers of gelatin used in the food production, life
sciences, and other industries. "The combination solution gave us a
simple to use, cost effective, and agile virtual infrastructure, in
which we can deploy and redeploy virtual machines easily and
confidently knowing that SANmelody's high availability virtual disks
will follow them wherever they go."
