Enabling the Always-On Enterprise
Enhance & Extend your virtual server environment with Melio Private Cloud
"Server Virtualization is often cited as the 'gateway drug' pointing many organization to a private cloud, but virtualization alone won't make it possible to gain all the benefits of private cloud. Solutions like Sanbolic's Melio software platform that provides a scalable, available, and QoS-aware foundation for data services will play a critical role in enabling truly scaleable and sustainable private cloud solutions."
- Rick Villars, Vice President, Storage Systems & Executive Strategies, IDC
The Problem
Virtualization deployments present a new set of challenges for the IT and storage infrastructure. To achieve the true promise of cloud agility, distributed computing requires a more application-aware shared storage topology. However, to achieve true cloud economics, customers can't rely solely on proprietary storage architectures.
