Alternative Technology To Carry DataCore

DataCore's products will complement the VMWare virtualization and Citrix-based infrastructure solutions now carried by Alternative Technology, according to Bill Botti, president and COO of the Englewood, Colo.-based unit of Arrow Electronics Enterprise Computing Solutions.

"This is a major expansion of Alternative Technology's virtual infrastructure solution strategy and a natural progression from what we have already done to extend our offerings in the growing market for server and workstation virtualization," Botti said in a statement.

DataCore wares available through Alternative Technology include the SANsymphony and SANmelody storage virtualization products and Traveller CPR, a new continuous data protection (CDP) solution.

Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based DataCore's virtual capacity capabilities allow storage to be served automatically to servers that need more space without impacting applications, according John Stubbs, vice president of business development strategies at Alternative Technology.

As a result, servers don't have to be stopped to add more disks. In addition, DataCore software deployed on two servers can create a high-availability and disaster-recovery architecture that can copy and protect data locally or globally.
