"We have been very successful in selling VMware, but we knew we had a hole
in our virtual storage story," said Paul Ghostine, Co-Founder and CEO,
Emergent OnLine. "By bringing DataCore into the picture, we are able to be
more successful selling VMware since we provide users with a far more complete
solution for server and storage consolidation.
Emergent sought to address the user need for an affordable SAN solution since

In most cases, customers had to install a costly

new requirements demanded by their user base: lower cost, full storage
networking services and the flexibility to respond rapidly by serving storage
