==History==
DataCore was founded in Fort Lauderdale in February 1998 by George Teixeira and Ziya Aral,<ref name="register2" />, co-workers at [[parallel computing]] company [[Encore Computer]].<ref name=register2>{{cite web|url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/01/30/datacore_chairman_ziya_aral_has_left_this_world/ |title=Smiley techie Datacore chairman Ziya Aral: RIP|website=theregister.co.uk |date=2017-01-30 |accessdate=2017-10-26}}</ref> The premise behind the company was to allow network operators to purchase commodity disk drives, external storage arrays or SAN disk drive arrays, and treat them all as virtual disks of networked, block-access storage. This storage was controlled using DataCore software.
 
They were joined by 10 other former Encore colleagues, and they all worked without pay until January 1999, when the company secured its first funding round, of $8 million.<ref name=register2/>
