Virsto is one of seven products chosen as a finalist for the Storage Software Product of the Year by a panel of respected editors and analysts. Voting is now open to the general public and will remain open through October 17th. To cast your ballot, please visit http://www.svcawards.com/voting. The winners will be announced on November 22nd at the Pullman St. Pancras London Hotel.
The SVC awards recognize the products, projects and services as well as honor companies and teams operating in the cloud, virtualization and storage fields. Virsto for vSphere is recognized for its ability to cut the cost of storage per VM by more than 50 percent while significantly reducing the ongoing operational time to manage and update virtualized environments. With Virsto, customers can more efficiently take advantage of their storage assets and help organizations deliver on the vision of the software-defined data center (SDDC).
"Virsto's storage hypervisor has excited the IT industry for its ability to help organizations realize the full potential of their existing storage assets," said Mark Davis, CEO of Virsto Software. "As the concept of the software defined data center gains traction -- and the realization that storage remains the missing link to achieve the necessary cost and agility for the SDDC -- Virsto is gaining recognition for its ability to offer the most flexible, efficient and scalable implementation of software-defined storage today."
The Storage Hypervisor is the Missing Link in the Software-Defined Datacenter
The concept of the SDDC is gaining recognition as IT moves away from infrastructure traditionally defined by proprietary hardware toward a more flexible infrastructure purpose built on the foundation of software designed for the dynamic and efficient allocation of resources at the virtual machine level. In the SDDC, all virtualized storage, server, networking and security resources required by an application can be defined by software and provisioned automatically. Virsto's VM-centric storage hypervisor is purpose built to deliver software-defined storage: the missing link for storage agility, performance and efficiency to realize more agile IT.

Virsto Named Finalist of 2012 Storage Virtualization & Cloud Awards
Read More..Australian public cloud company Ninefold is claiming new levels of reliability and availability but still runs its cloud storage service from a single data centre.
The company has announced that it has taken up residence in the IC2 data centre owned by parent company Macquarie Telecom and claims placing its kit there means it is the first cloud services provider in Australia to offer customers a third availability zone.
Doing so, it says, means Ninefold supports customer demand for failsafe uptime and risk mitigation among cloud forward developers, start-ups and digital agencies. The company's canned statement about its new availability zone goes on to say such customers will feel safe in the knowledge that their data is secure in Australian owned and based facilities and value the benefits of a multiple zone strategy when deploying their applications into production.
All of which is hard to dispute.
But the company's position is not entirely consistent, because in a previous journalistic life your correspondent learned that the company operates two of EMC's Atmos cloud storage rigs, and while there is redundancy between the two both are in the same room. Needless to say that leaves Ninefold's cloud storage service not quite capable of failsafe uptime in the event of a failure at that data centre.
We therefore asked Ninefold if the new availability zone meant it had moved, upgraded or added to its cloud storage rig.
Chairman and Co-Founder Peter James replied with the following non-answer:
Todays announcement addresses the strong customer demand for cloud compute and attached storage across multiple zones. This is the focus of our engineers in building the third availability zone in IC2. We have yet to make an announcement re cloud storage.
We pressed James for a more direct answer and he called to confirm that Ninefold still operates the two Atmos rigs in the one location but has decided to prioritise investment in compute, network and direct-attached storage as that's what customers are buying.
The announcement of the new zone at IC2, he said is about giving customers additional certainty and the ability to load balance between zones and ultimately is about reliability and uptime.
