Total Enterprise Virtualization - Maximizing investment protection for customers

Total Enterprise Virtualization has emerged to address mounting demand to extend the benefits of virtualization enterprise-wide by implementing and integrating mature, hardware independent software products, such as those offered by DataCore, Citrix, VMware and others, into a comprehensive virtualization solution spanning storage, servers and desktop computers. Today, DataCore storage virtualization and VMware, Citrix or other server or desktop virtualization solutions are working together to bring better and broader virtual infrastructures to customers in over 50% of DataCore deployments.

"The DataCore approach, like that of VMware, and Citrix, is not contingent upon a customer buying expensive hardware," said John Joseph, president, J4 Systems. "DataCore's affordable hardware independent, thin provisioning software solutions enable any business to fully participate in the cost saving benefits of virtualizing and consolidating its storage."
