Datrium Recognized on 2017 Emerging Vendors List

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- #Datrium, the leading provider of #OpenConvergedInfrastructure for hybrid clouds, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named the company to its 2017 Emerging Vendors list in the Storage category. This list recognizes recently founded, up-and-coming technology suppliers that are shaping the future of the IT channel through unique technological innovations. In addition to celebrating these standout companies, the Emerging Vendors list serves as a valuable resource for solution providers looking to expand their portfolios with cutting-edge technology. This year, for the first time, the list is divided into seven categories: Cloud, Data Center, Security, Big Data, Networking/VoIP, Internet of Things and Storage. Datrium delivers a new breed of tier 1 converged infrastructure with consumer-grade simplicity by combining compute, primary and secondary storage, and cloud backup into a single platform.  Datrium DVX extends beyond hyperconverged infrastructure to address both mission critical, low latency workloads as well as backup and cloud data management for hybrid clouds. Last week at AWS re:Invent, the company unveiled Datrium Cloud DVX, a cloud-native instance of Datrium DVX that runs on AWS, providing backup and recovery services for on-premise Datrium DVX systems. Beyond as-a-service simplicity, the new offering delivers breakthrough global cloud deduplication and forever incremental backups to minimize the cost of capacity and network bandwidth.  Granular, dedupe-aware recovery also provides accelerated Recovery-Time-Objectives (RTO) versus other AWS S3-based offerings. "This impressive group of technology supplier startups is already disrupting the status quo, aggressively creating and innovating to meet the ever-changing demands of the IT market," said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. "CRN's 2017 Emerging Vendors represent the next generation of IT change agents, producing a wide range of leading-edge products that solution providers should keep an eye on in the coming year and beyond." "This year, our goal was to ship the world's simplest tier 1, petabyte-scale infrastructure converging VM and container-based servers, primary and secondary storage as well as integrated cloud backup," said Brian Biles, Datrium CEO and co-Founder. "That we achieved this is undeniable and corroborated by Q3 sales that were four times those of our Q1 sales. Contributing to this success was the record addition of new capabilities in 2017 that make DVX virtually config-free on-prem and in the cloud. We are honored to be included on CRN's 2017 Emerging Vendors List and gratified with this acknowledgement of the pivotal role Datrium is playing in defining the next generation of convergence."

Datrium Announces Oracle Partnership And Oracle RAC Qualification

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- #Datrium, the leading provider of #OpenConverged Infrastructure for hybrid clouds, today announced it has been named an #Oracle Gold Partner. The company also announced qualification of Oracle Real Application Clusters ( #RAC ) on Datrium #DVX, extending the administrative simplicity, robust availability and integrated backup benefits of its Open Convergence approach to customer's Oracle RAC deployments.  As IT organizations seek alternatives to expensive and inflexible array infrastructure for mission critical Oracle RAC deployments, they encounter three main challenges with hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI). When organizations need to roll out a small 2-node RAC deployment, HCI cannot offer a 2-node cluster. In order to provide the highest level of availability, the minimum cluster size for HCI is 5-nodes, which is subject to more than twice the Oracle licensing costs. There is also an availability mismatch between HCI and Oracle RAC. For example, RAC's built-in availability architecture ensures that a 4-node RAC deployment will continue to run even if three of the four nodes fail; whereas with HCI, should more than 2 nodes fail, the entire cluster fails. Finally, many HCI systems do not have the built-in copy data management to clone production databases for test/dev purposes with zero performance impact. Simplifying Oracle RAC Deployments That's all changing with Datrium's announced support for virtualizing Oracle RAC on its industry-leading Open Convergence platform, Datrium DVX. This new breed of converged infrastructure combines compute, flash-based primary storage, and integrated backup--now with support for Oracle RAC. With Datrium, customers can deploy mixed production application workloads and test/development workloads in one platform while maintaining isolation for optimal service levels. This unique approach to convergence addresses issues with Oracle RAC on HCI and gives customers a more compatible server-powered option for their deployments. "At Neovera, we have built our reputation on addressing the unique needs of our customers with unmatched customer service. We were looking to move off our legacy array infrastructure to a modern convergence solution for our Oracle RAC infrastructure that combined VM-level administration with robust availability and bare-metal performance," said Scott Weinberg, CEO and founder. "With Datrium, we got that and more, including end-to-end data security and an integrated backup platform which saves us a ton of time and money." With Datrium's support of Oracle RAC, scaling is configuration-free. Data services such as erasure coding, global deduplication and compression are always-on and there is no need to selectively configure performance versus efficiency for a given workload—with Datrium you get both. Adding another Oracle RAC node is as simple as cloning a virtual machine in VMware vCenter. And performance remains high with automatic alignment of I/O with the most active Oracle RAC node and VMware host, eliminating network reads and maintaining high performance. Robust Availability, Data Integrity and Security With Datrium DVX, servers remain stateless so where there are N servers, N-1 servers can fail and the DVX remains available. This is well-matched with Oracle RAC which is architected with the same availability model. In addition to high availability, Datrium DVX provides end-to-end data integrity checking for Oracle RAC, meaning the data written to the RAC node will always match the data written to both flash and secondary storage. Finally, DVX provides end-to-end data security by encrypting Oracle RAC data on host, in-flight across the network, and at rest on the DVX Data Node. Datrium DVX also provides Oracle RAC customers with powerful real-time VM analytics, providing instant insights at the database VM level, improving visibility, saving time and speeding results. Integrated Data Management for Oracle RAC Datrium DVX provides near instant recovery for Oracle RAC by providing consistent local and remote snapshot backups of RAC VMs across all VMware hosts, complimenting Oracle RMAN and Data Guard. Backups are cost effectively maintained on Datrium's Data Nodes, which store both hot and cold data in compressed and globally deduplicated form on secondary storage. Backups can also be archived to Amazon Web Services and managed from a single pane of glass within the DVX console. In addition to integrated backup, Datrium also accelerates development cycles for Oracle RAC developers with advanced copy data management functionality. Cloned copies of production databases are immediately available to software developers or QA engineers, speeding design, development and testing. "While HCI clusters are replacing some types of arrays, they are not a good match for the gold standard in enterprise data availability, Oracle RAC," said Brian Biles, Founder and CEO of Datrium. "Datrium's Open Convergence approach was designed for scalable host isolation and efficient cloud data management, so RAC is a great fit, and we're thrilled to be named an Oracle Gold Partner." Oracle Gold Partner Status Datrium has been awarded Oracle Gold Partner status, gaining access to extensive partner training, development and demonstration licenses, and other technical resources. With its Gold-level status, Datrium and Oracle can now collaborate effectively to provide joint customers with the best possible solution experience.
