Join us to hear the story of City of Carmel and Mirazon. City of Carmel is one of the fastest growing cities in Indiana. Carmel was voted #1 in American's Best Places to Live by Money magazine. CNBC voted Indianapolis/Carmel ”Best Cities to Relocate to in America”. Over the last two decades the city has almost tripled its population and this growth has forced their IT infrastructure to expand rapidly.
Thanks for Mirazon’s recommendations they found the perfect solution that helped them modernize their infrastructure to provide 24/7 data access for Fire and Police department’s critical systems. For nearly a decade, City of Carmel has experienced Zero storage-related downtime. Even through maintenance windows, their VM’s have achieved 100% uptime.
The best part is, they have done with budget-friendly backend disks and allowed Software-defined storage to do all the heavy lifting. They have enjoyed Enterprise level active/active HA functionalities across 2 different buildings, running a VMware stretch cluster with HPE Servers connected via 10Gb and HP MSA backend enclosures.
Learn how City of Carmel has been able to stay running without downtime for almost 10 years and have saved $75,000 by extending their hardware life expectancy thanks to their secret sauce.
In this webcast you will discover how City of Carmel:
• Has experienced 100% uptime for nearly 10 years
• Extended their storage life expectancy by 80% and saved $75k
• Replaced every storage component without doing a forklift and replace
Join Technologent and DataCore for a live, 20-minute round-table discussion on the quick and easy way to leverage ANY public cloud as low-cost storage for your data archival in a hybrid cloud environment.
We’ll show you how vFilO’s built-in Data Profiler simulates migration to the cloud so you can understand the cost and capacity impacts before you actually move files, and how you can test it yourself with the vFilO Hands-on Lab to explore the capabilities on a real environment created on-demand.
We’ll also cover how vFilO:
- pools your existing NAS and File Servers into one logical system (single namespace) so files are no longer tethered to a specific piece of hardware
- generates subdirectories of your once-separate file shares and distributes them across several storage tiers and migrates them between available storage devices according to data placement policies
- provides the most affordable alternative for archive files and snapshots of critical files and applications
- reduces cloud capacity consumption through global de-duplication and compression, with optional encryption

The short half-life of data, quickly decaying from hot to warm to cold, governs how much you should spend on it throughout its stages.
Humans are poorly equipped to track the rapid temperature changes, much less capable of reacting to it. Consequently, largely dormant data consumes precious space on expensive storage, blowing up disk capacity and spiraling up costs.
In this webinar you’ll become acquainted with:
•Machine learning (ML) techniques that sense data temperature variations in real-time
•Artificial intelligence (AI) methods used to dynamically migrate data accordingly, between primary, secondary and cloud storage from different suppliers
•Relative distribution of storage tiers necessary for optimum savings
Augie Gonzalez, Director of Product Marketing, DataCore
Attendees will learn how to combine isolated storage systems of different makes and models into versatile data pools managed from a common set of tools. They’ll see how DataCore vFilO software automates what were once difficult and risky data migrations during capacity expansion and hardware refreshes, while eliminating planned downtime. Major operational and economic benefits of this federated, load balanced approach will be covered, along with some of the automation behind storage tiering and data placement.

Join us on our webinar to see how using industry-leading software-defined storage and intelligent bridges provides ultimate hardware flexibility while delivering high availability and performance. Learn how to dramatically reduce enterprise storage costs by enabling the use of standard JBOD, JBOFs or RAID arrays.
In the wake of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the consequent market recession, IT organizations are encountering many challenges. Chief among those are budget reductions for IT infrastructure projects, especially enterprise storage hardware. Given the crippling effect on the global supply chain for enterprise storage hardware causing delays in equipment delivery, IT has to find a fine balance between meeting surging storage demand and compensating for the deferred capacity expansion.
In the wake of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the consequent market recession, let us discuss how IT budgets are getting impacted and how IT teams can manage and fulfill their data storage requirements without having to spend a lot of money on procurement of expensive storage hardware.

The administrative efforts to manage different storage sources, especially for unstructured data, are tremendous. Often this diversity is caused by the natural growth of the storage infrastructure. To lower the administrative efforts, one obvious approach is to ‘centralize‘ all data in a single system, but this is rarely practicable. A more practicable approach is to leverage a software layer to pool all resources, handle them centrally whereby underneath diverse (and existing) storages could be used. Join our session to see how Software-Defined Storage (SDS) exactly supports you in doing more with less and what else you can expect from DataCore SDS.

Infrastructure modernization, particularly when critical data storage is involved, can be both exhilarating and scary. While we eagerly await the arrival of the latest gear, we relive painful memories of our last major data migration. And for first-timers, the stress can be overwhelming. Learn how DataCore customers have gracefully navigated those difficult technology transitions by:
- Segregating data services from the storage hardware
- Leveraging device-independent redundancy to prevent downtime
- Distributing loads between unlike systems.
You'll walk away with actionable guidance that's sure to give you the confidence to make bold data center upgrades, responsibly and largely automated.
Are you running into challenges sourcing additional storage hardware during these challenging economic conditions? Do you have the budget needed to expand storage the way you had originally planned? One thing that is constant is that data will continue to grow whether you can implement your plans or not. In this webinar, Mike Ivanov, Sr. Director of Product Marketing at DataCore will present how DataCore Software-Defined Storage solutions can help IT teams:
• Consolidate all storage resources, reclaim unused capacity, and automatically move data between primary and secondary storage
• Ensure premium storage only stores hot data and does not get used up with warm/cold data
• Leverage object storage and elastic cloud as cheaper alternatives to store inactive data and help IT teams optimize their existing storage resources to make the most out of existing investments.

To deliver a distributed file sharing environment, IT organizations often have to deploy multiple, discrete solutions. DataCore vFilO now allows IT organizations to deploy a single, scalable, hybrid file and object storage solution, with built-in data management. Learn how vFilO can enable you to consolidate your existing file storage silos into one globally managed environment, and enable complete control over whether data is on high performance, on-premises storage or archived to the public cloud.
Across all sectors, ransomware incidents increased by 118 percent during the first quarter of 2019, yet less than half of companies today do not consider the prevention of ransomware a high priority. A ransomware attack can be devastating to a business, especially for organizations that rely on an always-on, 100% uptime model to keep their customers, users, and partners happy.
Software-defined storage (SDS) is increasingly being leveraged by public and private organizations to easily integrate advanced data protection strategies into their existing environments and build a redundant infrastructure that is always available, no matter the issue. As the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve, high availability and disaster recovery solutions that can mirror your data transparently, automatically, and in real time are imperative to preventing attacks that can take your organization offline and out of commission.
In this webcast join Alan Kerr, Sr. Solutions Architect at Stable Path to learn how SDS can help your organization safeguard your storage environment against ransomware attacks with multilayered protection for business continuity and high availability to significantly reduce your RPO and RTO times.
