Operational and Economic Benefits
SANmelody™ software brings the following benefits to companies that have maximised their servers' internal disk storage:

• Least costly mechanism to expand disk space beyond existing server capacity
• No need to deploy another copy of an application on a separate machine just to add disks
• Addresses broader requirement for higher availability and better data protection by allowing a redundant copy of critical volumes to be kept separate from application servers
• Enables rapid recovery from catastrophic application server failure by allowing redundant copy to be quickly reassigned to a replacement server without hardware changes
• Follows familiar approach of commissioning a general purpose server to handle a specialised task
• Eliminates wasteful disk space that may have been orphaned behind dedicated servers
• Makes it easy to take advantage of advanced data protection functions when they are needed
