Storage

The storage layer is a key component of any Cloud Infrastructure solution

that serves data generated by applications and operating systems in a

datacenter storage processing system. In this VSPEX solution, EMC VNX

Series storage arrays are used to provide virtualization at the storage layer.

This increases storage efficiency, management flexibility, and reduces total

cost of ownership.

The EMC Next-Generation VNX family is optimized for virtual applications

and delivers innovation and enterprise capabilities for file and block

storage in a scalable, easy-to-use solution. This storage platform combines

powerful and flexible hardware with advanced efficiency, management,

and protection software to meet the demanding needs of today’s

enterprises.

Intel Xeon processors power the VNX series for intelligent storage that

automatically and efficiently scales in performance, while ensuring data

integrity and security. VNX customer benefits include:

 Next-generation unified storage, optimized for virtualized

applications

 Capacity optimization features including compression,

deduplication, thin provisioning, and application-centric copies

 High availability, designed to deliver five 9s availability

 Automated Tiering with FAST VP and FAST Cache, which can be

optimized for the highest system performance and lowest

storage cost simultaneously

 Simplified management with EMC Unisphere for a single

management interface for all NAS, SAN, and replication needs

 Up to three times better performance with the latest Intel Xeon

multicore processor technology, optimized for flash

Various software suites and packs are also available for the VNX series,

which provide multiple features for enhanced protection and

performance
