DataCore Software, the leading provider of storage virtualization SAN software, announced the selection of Moose Logic, a managed services provider and one of the nation's leading Citrix value-added resellers, to deliver DataCore storage virtualization solutions to their market in the northwestern United States. Moose Logic will offer the full line of DataCore's SAN storage virtualization, disaster recovery, and continuous data protection solutions, including the newly announced, SANmelody™-based VM Starter SAN and Feature-Packed Storage Virtualization Solutions. The addition of DataCore will meet growing client demand for more virtualization solutions as well as complement and enhance Moose Logic's current infrastructure virtualization and productivity offerings, such as Citrix XenServer. As one of DataCore's newest partners, Moose Logic has already won four new Citrix and DataCore virtualization customers, including Sherron Associates, Inc., Douglas County, Digital Control and Integra Pacific Mortgage. Further announcements on these DataCore and Citrix XenServer customer deployments will be forthcoming.
“Without the Citrix XenServer and DataCore combination, we would not have been able to afford to consolidate our servers and install a SAN to protect our storage,” said Gayle Spencer, network administrator, Sherron Associates. “From a financial perspective, any other solution would have been much more expensive and would not have extended the cost savings benefits of virtualization to both servers and storage. Had we chose to replace our existing hardware, even the ‘best' scenario would have entailed replacing at least a few of our existing, older servers at a cost of $8,000 - $10,000, a piece.” Sherron Associates, Inc. is a property management firm located in Bellevue, Washington.
DataCore and Citrix XenServer = New Sales for Moose Logic
“DataCore and Citrix XenServer are a logical combination for anyone going virtual and best of all customers get it immediately once they see it in action,” said Scott Gorcester, founder, Moose Logic. “Four new customer wins in our first month of the partnership makes the point obvious. The DataCore partnership will help us extend the scope of what we offer in terms of virtual infrastructure to our Citrix XenServer clients as well as to our entire base of clients and prospects. Strategically, I see DataCore accelerating our server virtualization sales cycles as well as becoming the storage virtualization vendor on which we can build our Citrix XenServer practice into a ‘Total Enterprise Virtualization' practice.”
