Meeting the information-sharing challenge |
|
Start small, but think big with the EMC® Celerra® unified storage platforms. The Celerra unified product NX4 is a dedicated network server optimized for file and block access, delivering high-end features in a scalable, easy-to-use package.
Celerra unified storage systems deliver a single-box block and file solution offering a centralized point of management for distributed environments. This enables you to dynamically grow, share, and cost-effectively manage multi-protocol file systems as well as providing multi-protocol block access. Take advantage of simultaneous support for NFS and CIFS protocols by letting Windows and Linux/UNIX clients share files using the DART (Data Access in Real Time) operating system’s sophisticated file-locking mechanisms. Leverage iSCSI for Tier 2 block applications and even native Fibre Channel for high-bandwidth or latency-sensitive applications. |
Flexible solutions to meet a wide range of requirements |
|
Celerra unified storage platforms combine a front-end IP storage enclosure and best-in-class, native CLARiiON storage for use by the IP front end or by Fibre Channel-connected hosts, in a single packaged solution. This approach offers the lowest acquisition cost along with simple implementation and management without sacrificing configurability options.

|
Businesses looking for an entry-level EMC storage solution or platform for deploying a single-box block and file approach using iSCSI or Fibre Channel should choose the Celerra unified storage products. These products include advanced functionality at the best price/performance in the mid-tier. |
…Upgrade non-disruptively |
|
Celerra unified systems can be upgraded online from single- to dual-X-Blade configurations with the NX4 and NS-120, from two- to four-X-Blade configurations with the NS-480, seamlessly adding increased availability, capacity, or performance to your initial investment. |
Celerra unified storage platform system elements |
|
The Celerra unified storage platform NX4 is comprised of one or two autonomous servers called X-Blades and a storage processor enclosure (SPE). The X-Blades control data movement from the disks to the network. Each X-Blade houses two Intel processors and runs EMC’s Data Access in Real Time (DART) operating system, designed and optimized for high-performance, multi-protocol network file and block access. The SPE manages the back-end CLARiiON disk arrays. The SPE has two independent storage processors (SPs) that deliver dedicated back-end array-based processing power and is based on the industry-leading EMC UltraFlex™ technology. The combination of the front-end X-Blades with the SPE back-end forms the only truly integrated, high-availability, unified offering in the mid-tier storage market. |
