In 2006, EMC introduced a series of software products to help customers reduce complexity, lower operating costs, improve mean-time-to-repair, and
enhance reliability of core business services. EMC Smarts Storage Insight for Availability leverages ControlCenter storage management software and fully
automates root-cause and impact analysis of availability problems across the SAN, resulting in significant reduction in downtime and maintenance time. EMC
Smarts Application Discovery Manager provides extensive application and infrastructure monitoring, analysis and automation across the enterprise. Rainfinity
Global File Virtualization solution now offers customers a single platform to manage both active and inactive files throughout a file's lifecycle across
heterogeneous environments.
In 2006, EMC also introduced the new EMC Infoscape software to help companies discover, classify and manage unstructured enterprise information.
This software enables customers to efficiently, accurately and easily search all corporate information in file systems; automatically classify information based
on business value; manage the retention of unstructured information for compliance; and facilitate policy-based and automated data migration across a tiered
storage infrastructure.
Additionally, EMC introduced in 2006 a number of new and updated software products that enable customers to improve the recovery of critical
applications and data. EMC's recovery management solutions target three pillars in data protection – application-aware protection, disk-based recoverability
and enhanced manageability – enabling customers to recover the right data, at the right time, easily and reliably.
We intend to continue to enhance our storage software with additional features and capabilities.
