In 2016, the company's SANSymphony-V software was reported to have set new price performance records based on testing done by Redwood City, CA-based non-profit testing company Storage Performance Council using their SPC-1 storage performance benchmark.<ref name=register2/> The results led to complaints from multiple vendors and independent consultants, who claimed that storing all the "test" data in [[Cache (computing)|cache]] made the results unfair.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/06/23/are_datacores_spc_benchmarks_unfair/ |title=Are DataCore's SPC benchmarks unfair?|website=longroom.com |date=2016-06-23 |accessdate=2018-04-12}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://silvertonconsulting.com/blog/2016/10/01/spc-1-iops-performance-per-gb-nand-chart-of-the-month/ |title=SPC-1 IOPS performance per GB-NAND – chart of the month| date=2016-10-01 |accessdate=2016-10-01}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://blog.architecting.it/are-datacores-spc-benchmarks-unfair/ |title=Are DataCore’s SPC Benchmarks Unfair?| date=2016-06-22 |accessdate=2016-06-22}}</ref> One of the three SPC-1 benchmark results was later withdrawn.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/06/24/spc_says_up_yours_datacore/ |title=SPC says up yours to DataCore|website=theregister.co.uk |date=2016-06-24 |accessdate=2017-12-26}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.storageperformance.org/results/benchmark_results_spc1_withdrawn |title=Withdrawn SPC-1 and SPC-1/E Results |website=storageperformance.org |date=2016-06-16 |accessdate=2017-12-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180106000457/http://www.storageperformance.org/results/benchmark_results_spc1_withdrawn# |archive-date=2018-01-06 |url-status=dead
In March 2017 the company partnered with another Chinese technology company [[Lenovo]] to develop data center business by integrating DataCore's SANSymphony-V software defined storage with Lenovo's servers. This was reportedly to compete with companies like [[Nutanix]] and SimpliVity (now part of [[Hewlett Packard Enterprise]] (HPE)) that were shipping whole hyper-converged stacks rather than just a software-defined storage component.<ref name=crn1>{{cite web|url=http://www.crn.com/news/storage/300084215/partners-cheer-lenovos-datacore-deal-ponder-its-long-term-storage-strategy.htm |title=Partners Cheer Lenovo's DataCore Deal, Ponder Its Long-Term Storage Strategy |website=CRN.com |date=2017-03-16 |accessdate=2017-10-27}}</ref> In September 2017, in an attempt to compete with the [[in-memory database]] features of [[Microsoft SQL Server|SQL Server]], the company released its MaxParallel driver, which uses parallel I/O technology to accelerate database-related processing such as with [[Database server|SQL Server]] databases.<ref name=register1>{{cite web|url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/09/26/datacore_drives_sql_server_to_silly_speeds/ |title=DataCore tech cranks wheezing SQL Servers to ridiculous speeds|website=theregister.co.uk |date=2017-09-26 |accessdate=2017-10-26}}</ref> This product has been discontinued less than one year after release due to the low demand. <ref name=maxparallel1>{{cite web|url=https://maxparallel.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1692/~/maxparallel-end-of-life-notice |title=MaxParallel End-of-Life Notice|website=maxparallel.com |date=2019-05-06 |accessdate=2019-05-06}}</ref>
