Curvature and DataCore partner 

Curvature, an IT infrastructure and services provider, announces an innovative partnership with DataCore designed to change the fundamental economics of storage and the useful life span of storage investments. The combination of Curvature and DataCore will help large organizations gain unprecedented control over the management and cost of their data center storage devices and costs – without sacrificing functionality and performance. DataCore enables customers to benefit from software agility that helps ‘future-proof’ and optimize their investments while delivering record-breaking storage performance acceleration to improve overall application and business productivity. These new combined solutions, now available from Curvature, take advantage of commoditized hardware to build robust storage infrastructure and deliver unique ways to expand the life of existing equipment.

Gartner predicts that, “By the end of 2017, more than 25% of Global 2000 enterprises' IT organizations will try to base their own storage systems on an SDS approach, which will be a major increase from today's 10%.”[i] The Curvature and DataCore partnership will provide customers with complete control over the design, build and operation of their storage platforms. As a result, organizations will be able to transform existing and pre-owned equipment into a longer-lasting, more agile custom-defined platform that operates independently from manufacturer-installed software.

Organizations can instantly repurpose their existing server and storage equipment by adding DataCore’s unified software services alongside Curvature’s hardware and third-party maintenance platform. Thousands of businesses globally rely on Curvature to keep critical assets working beyond the original manufacturer's specifications, which reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) and increases business agility.

“We believe Software-Defined storage will be one of the highest-impact trends changing infrastructure and operations through 2018,” said Jeff Zanardi, VP of business development, at Curvature. “We are excited to build solutions based on DataCore’s industry leading IOPS and price performance storage virtualization technologies. This will change how companies, procure, build and manage their storage infrastructures, which will result in a disruption of the current market, especially among entrenched storage vendors.”

“We admire Curvature's focus on ensuring customers control the investments in equipment they already paid for in addition to providing them with new alternatives on how to lower OPEX and CAPEX purchasing costs for new gear, creating efficiencies and savings across the IT spectrum," said Steve Houck, Chief Operations Officer at DataCore. “Our partnership combines our software solutions, world-class maintenance and cost-effective hardware alternatives to allow customers to keep current data storage equipment functioning long beyond expectations.”
