|
| | • Next-generation unified storage, optimized for virtualized applications | | |
|
| The EMC VNX family delivers industry-leading innovation and enterprise capabilities for file and block storage in a scalable, easy-to-use solution.
|
| |
| Unified storage for multi-protocol |
| Powerful new multi-core Intel CPUs with 6-Gb/s SAS backend |
| Administration simplicity with EMC Unisphere |
| Flash-optimized with auto-tiering |
| Easy storage provisioning from the #1 provider of storage for virtualized environments |
|
| |
| | | | | | | |
A robust platform for consolidation of legacy block storage, file servers, and direct-attached application storage, the VNX series enables organizations to dynamically grow, share, and cost-effectively manage multi-protocol file systems and multi-protocol block storage access. The VNX operating environment enables Microsoft Windows and Linux/UNIX clients to share
files in multi-protocol (NFS and CIFS) environments. At the same time, it supports iSCSI, Fibre Channel, and FCoE access for high-bandwidth and latency-sensitive block applications. |
Manage, monitor, and tune |
|
EMC Unisphere makes it easy to manage VNX systems from anywhere with a simple, integrated user interface for distributed storage environments. The Unisphere dashboard is a single screen for at-a-glance management and reporting, enabling administrators to gain instant and actionable knowledge about what’s occurring across the entire environment. Unisphere’s single sign-on automatically discovers all VNX, EMC CLARiiON, EMC Celerra, and EMC
RecoverPoint SE installations in the environment for seamless configuration. |
Optimize your performance |
|
The VNX series has been designed to take advantage of the latest innovation in Flash drive technology, maximizing the storage system’s performance and efficiency while minimizing cost per gigabyte. When even a few Flash drives are combined with the EMC FAST Suite an unrivaled set of software that tiers data across heterogeneous drives and boosts the most active data to cache customers receive the optimal benefits of a FLASH 1st strategy.
|
Use storage capacity more efficiently |
|
The VNX series is delivered with built-in features to help ensure redundant, inactive, or anticipated data doesn’t consume valuable storage resources. Block compression, intended for relatively inactive LUNs such as backup copies and static data repositories, automatically compresses data, enabling customers to recapture capacity and reduce the data footprint by up to 50 percent.
|
Virtual environments |
|
The VNX series is the ideal mid-tier system for virtualized application environments. Whether the customer environment is VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Xen-based, VNX is fully certified for all supported protocols to ensure successful deployments of virtualized infrastructures through all phases of implementation.
|
VNX software |
|
The VNX series software is available in two comprehensive packages to ensure customers have all of the necessary capabilities to protect and manage their information. The VNX Total Protection Pack includes replication capabilities, point-in-time recovery features such as snaps and clones combined with automated application copies for assured recovery, along with monitoring and alerting for compliance with protection policies. The VNX Total Efficiency Pack includes all of the protection features plus “set it and forget it” performance optimization. All VNX software is managed through Unisphere.
|
Continuous availability |
|
The VNX series is architected to provide five-nines availability in mission-critical business environments. VNX availability and redundancy features include:
Up to 12.8 gigabytes of mirrored write cache, where each storage processor contains both primary cached data for its LUNs and a secondary copy of the cache for its peer storage processor
Battery backup to allow for an orderly shutdown and cache destaging to vault disks to ensure data protection in the event of a power failure
RAID protection levels 0, 1, 1/0, 3, 5, and 6—all of which can co-exist in the same array simultaneously to match different protection requirements
Proactive hot sparing enhances system robustness and delivers maximum reliability and availability
Redundant data paths, power supplies, drive connections, and storage processors all with non-disruptive field replacement capabilities
Continuous system monitoring, call-home notification, and advanced remote diagnostics
