Delivering increased availability and scalability to enterprise applications

Architected to address the storage management and performance challenges encountered in increasingly dynamic and virtualized application environments, Sanbolic's host-based data management software (Melio) delivers enhanced application availability and scale to critical enterprise workloads including virtualization, VDI, SQL and file serving.

Sanbolic was founded 10 years ago to bring geographically distributed computing concepts to the storage layer. Fast forward to today, increasingly disparate physical , virtual and cloud workloads are magnifying an ever widening disconnect between application and storage topologies. Dynamic application performance and availability requirements are exposing the limitations of current storage solutions. Customers are demanding a more flexible and cost-effective approach to data management.

Melio augments a customer's existing IT infrastructure, creating a more application-aware shared storage architecture. Our software integrates extremely complex storage concepts, including clustered file system and volume management, rapid resource provisioning, and quality of service (QoS) into a workload, hypervisor and storage agnostic offering.

Seamlessly spanning multiple sites, Melio customers benefit from increased levels of infrastructure flexibility and responsiveness across their global IT footprint, while minimizing storage related cost and complexity.

Founded in 2000 and located in Watertown, MA, Sanbolic is focused exclusively on delivering increased levels of availability and scale to critical enterprise workloads, while decreasing cost and management complexity. Spanning SMBs to the Fortune 100, more than 600 customers around the world have successfully deployed Sanbolic's Melio platform.

SOLUTIONS:

VDI 

Sanbolic Melio is the critical link between a customer's storage infrastructure and a successful Citrix XenDesktop VDI implementation. Our host-based, data management solution augments the existing storage infrastructure to enable a complete enterprise-class VDI environment in less time, with less effort, and lower upfront costs than previously possible.

VDI on Hyper-V 

Sanbolic's host-based data management software (Melio) augments a customer's existing IT infrastructure to deliver enhanced application availability and scale to critical enterprise workloads including virtualization and private cloud. It's powerful abstraction layer greatly reduces dependence on expensive and complex SAN. For customers building an enterprise-ready private cloud solution, the combination of Melio, Hyper-V and Systems Center is a more flexible, reliable and QoS-aware approach compared to the market leading alternatives.

SQL HA for XenDesktop 

Melio Enterprise consolidates, protects and manages physical and virtual SQL workloads, enabling a more agile, efficient and scalable shared cluster of critical SQL database instances. By creating a centrally managed active-active cluster of SQL data and storage resources, the resulting host-resident solution brings high availability, non-disruptive failover/migration, load balancing and Quality-of-Service (QoS) to a customer's SQL database footprint.

Virtual Shared Storage 

Melio's Virtual Shared Storage software creates a highly available storage environment by aggregating under-utilized disk capacity across existing servers into a pool of shared iSCSI volumes. For organizations of all sizes, the resulting software-based SAN is functionally comparable to more expensive hardware-based alternatives, at a fraction of the cost.
