manager are now compatible with Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine
Manager 2008 R2. Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager provides
a comprehensive, multi-platform virtualization management solution for
the virtualized data center that enables increased physical server
utilization, dynamic resource optimization, and centralized management of
both physical and virtual machine infrastructure. Sanbolic's Melio FS is

centers and provides advanced enterprise storage management features for
Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization deployments. Customer can download

Sanbolic Melio and Microsoft Hyper-V provide a lower cost solution for
server virtualization than VMware. Unlike other storage solutions for
server virtualization, Sanbolic's Melio FS provides capability unique to
an enterprise clustered file system. Melio FS provides a high performance,
scalable single LUN storage solution that supports Live Migration on
Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V. In addition, Melio FS provides essentially
unlimited volume sizes, storage I/O reporting and per-VM quality of
service management, and can support up to several hundred nodes in a
storage cluster. In addition, Melio together with Sanbolic's LaScala
volume manager can also be used to centrally assign SAN application data
volumes and provide shared SAN data access to Windows Server 2008 R2
application servers running on Hyper-V virtual machines. Full distributed
snapshot capability will be available in Q2.

"System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 and Hyper-V 2008 R2 add
valuable new capabilities, including Live Migration, which improve IT
efficiency enabling customers to move their enterprise workloads onto
virtual infrastructure," said Dai Vu, Director of Virtualization
Marketing, Microsoft. "Sanbolic provides customers with the ability to
add extended storage management capabilities to their Microsoft
virtualization deployments."

Customers who purchase the Enterprise version of Melio for production
deployments today can use it to provide a single LUN solution for Quick
Migration on Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V now, and then upgrade to Windows
Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V when it is released to add Live Migration
capability. There will be no need to reconfigure the store when moving to
Server 2008 R2.

manager install easily on physical or virtual servers, and can utilize
any fibre channel or iSCSI storage hardware. Sanbolic's products have
been designed to integrate easily with Windows Server and virtualization
