EMC Symmetrix Systems
The EMC Symmetrix family of high-end networked storage systems delivers the highest functionality, performance, data availability and information
protection by enabling customers to incrementally scale the performance and capacity of a single array from seven terabytes to more than a petabyte, creating
the largest and most scalable system of its kind.
In 2007, EMC unveiled the next generation of its flagship and market-leading, high-end storage array – the EMC Symmetrix DMX-4 series. Building on
the innovation and investment protection that has distinguished the Symmetrix line for over a decade, the new Symmetrix DMX-4 series is cost-effective and
easy-to-use and delivers tremendous performance, security, scalability and energy efficiency.
In early 2008, EMC announced it would integrate flash-based solid state drives (SSDs) into its EMC Symmetrix DMX-4 storage system to deliver ultra-
high performance and dramatically improve energy efficiencies for customers' mission-critical applications. This is the only enterprise storage system
available on the market today to leverage this technology. In addition, EMC also introduced EMC Virtual Provisioning and new management capabilities for
EMC Symmetrix DMX enterprise storage systems. This will help customers to simplify and accelerate both virtual and physical provisioning of storage
capacity, while lowering the total cost of ownership in high-end storage environments.
EMC CLARiiON Systems
Our EMC CLARiiON family of mid-tier networked storage systems provides flexible levels of functionality, performance, scalability and availability for
small and medium-sized businesses, mid-size enterprises and branch offices. Independently-affirmed statistics show this platform has achieved the highest
availability.
The new EMC Disk Library 6000 is the IT industry's largest open systems virtual tape library (VTL), scaling to 1.8 petabytes of usable compressed
capacity in a single system and can backup more than 11 terabytes of data per hour. This product family provides the highest levels of performance, scalability
and software functionality to meet the backup requirements of high-end information infrastructures.
In early 2008, EMC also introduced a new EMC CLARiiON AX4 networked storage system, a highly flexible, available and scalable storage area
network (SAN) system for small and medium businesses. The new system can easily be deployed, expanded and reconfigured in a VMware Infrastructure and
traditional IT environments with no application downtime.
EMC Celerra IP Storage Systems
Our EMC Celerra family of internet protocol ("IP") storage systems range from the midrange to the high-end of the NAS market and delivers advanced
scalability and functionality, unmatched availability and simplified management for customers that want to access storage via ubiquitous IP networks as part
of an overall ILM strategy.
In 2007, EMC unveiled a new, cost-effective and easy-to-use entry point to the EMC Celerra NS series of storage systems. The new multi-protocol
Celerra NS20 system and the enhanced Celerra NS40 system can simultaneously connect to multiple types of storage networks, while offering industry-
leading price/performance and the highest level of reliability.
EMC Centera Content Addressed Storage Systems
EMC Centera provides fast, secure online access to archived fixed content – data that cannot be modified or will not change over time, such as digital x-
ray images, movies, check images, medical records, e-mail correspondence and other similar types of digital objects. Centera also helps customers worldwide
comply with complex governance and regulatory requirements for digital record retention, archiving and access.
EMC Connectrix Directors and Switches
Our EMC Connectrix family includes high-end directors and departmental switches to help customers of all sizes increase the connectivity between
servers and storage systems in a SAN, consolidate their networked storage systems, improve total cost of ownership and tier their storage environments to
support an ILM strategy.
We intend to continue to enhance our storage systems with additional features and capabilities.
