DataCore Software and VMware "Power the Cloud" for Partners at VMworld 2009

DataCore Solution Providers and Advisors - Including External IT, Interware
Systems and The Mirazon Group - Are Using DataCore and VMware to Power Private
Clouds
SAN FRANCISCO--(Business Wire)--
DataCore Software, a leading provider of storage virtualization, business
continuity and disaster recovery software solutions, today announced that
several of its partners that are present at VMworld 2009 are using DataCore
storage virtualization in conjunction with VMware Infrastructure to power
private computing clouds, tailored individually to meet a specific client`s
needs. These partners include External IT, Interware Systems and The Mirazon
Group.

DataCore and VMware can "power the cloud" for any enterprise so that they can
have access to the power of virtualization - particularly disaster recovery -
without having to own the infrastructure themselves.

Cloud Computing Spotlight: DataCore Partner Interware Systems

Interware Systems is a total solutions provider focusing on delivering
virtualization solutions. In embracing a cloud computing model to deliver IT
services - the firm has to rely on a SAN that is reliable, flexible, powerful
and cost-effective. DataCore`s SANsymphony acts as a universal storage
controller - enabling the company to get the most out of its storage through a
software-based storage virtualization approach.

"Managed service providers have been in the business of disaster recovery for
some time - offering co-location sites for data, backup, and recovery, but only
now through the cloud and through DataCore storage virtualization technology can
this be offered as a `pay by the drink` service," stated Lak Gill, vice
president, Interware Systems. "Our network operating center enables customers to
aim their data to it and pay for only the servers they replicate. Moreover, with
DataCore, storage can be allocated down to the megabyte, so customers can only
pay for the storage they need - and no more."

External IT Delivers Storage Virtualization into Private Clouds - for Clients
and for Resellers

"There are capabilities that DataCore brings to the table that I absolutely
love," explained Joseph Stedler, senior engineer and Dallas data center manager,
External IT. "With DataCore, you will experience enormous performance gains. The
performance that DataCore delivers is nothing short of awesome."

External IT, a hosted IT-as-a-service company serving the needs of the small and
medium enterprise virtual workforce, has standardized on DataCore`s SANsymphony
storage virtualization software to serve as their storage area network (SAN) of
choice for its business and thereby for its clients and its reseller partners
too. With VMware virtual servers and DataCore storage virtualization, External
IT is able to deliver a complete virtualization infrastructure in the form of
private computing "clouds," tailored individually to a specific client`s needs.

"DataCore`s software-based approach to storage virtualization is a fundamental
shift - for the better - in terms of SAN technology," commented Stedler. "The
deficiencies that are inherent to traditional, hardware-based SANs are overcome
by the flexibility of the DataCore virtual SAN, software-based approach."

Enabling Cloud Computing - DataCore Partner The Mirazon Group

The Mirazon Group, an IT solutions provider that advises many customers on cloud
computing understands the key characteristics customers are looking for in a SAN
- reliability, flexibility, cost-effectiveness. According to Barry Martin,
partner and chief technical architect, The Mirazon Group, "We are firm believers
in DataCore and their approach. Mirazon fundamentally sees software-based
storage virtualization as strategic because of the value it provides and because
of the flexibility of the solutions virtualization enables our firm to create."

Added Martin, "Cloud computing platforms demand unprecedented uptime due to
server and storage consolidation. DataCore`s High Availability approach provides
zero downtime and the ability to `walk` cloud workloads onto new storage
hardware as the need arises. This is a tremendous advantage in the eyes of the
customer."
