EMC Symmetrix VMAXe

In June, 2011 EMC provided the new storage system of EMC Symmetrix VMAXe with the innovative technology of storage intended for the virtualized clouds and a crucial IT environment. The VMAXe system will allow IT departments as in the USA and in Western Europe, and in emerging market economies, for example, in India, China and Eastern Europe to accelerate migration to the world of cloud computing.

In Symmetrix VMAXe same the architecture of Virtual Matrix Architecture, best in the industry, and the innovation software, as in the big Symmetrix VMAX systems which use the world's largest data processing centers are applied. This system which is specially developed for customers with limited examination in the field of technologies of storage and IT resources differs in new more compact construction of the hardware and the firm ware allowing to unroll, configure quickly and to manage easily a system.

Rapid implementation of cloud computing led worldwide to the exponential growth of amount of data with which many organizations hardly cope because of a lack of IT personnel, an empty seat in DPCs and the budget. Symmetrix VMAXe solves these problems, offering the highest level of automation of storage, simplification of management and selection of resources, scaling of performance, local and remote replication and functionality of simultaneous support thousands of virtual machines of VMware and other suppliers.

Main opportunities and advantages of VMAXe

• New construction of the hardware: Symmetrix VMAXe combines Virtual Matrix Architecture which provides availability at the level of corporate DPC with directors of Engine based on new multi-core processors of Intel, dense placement of data and a power supply from a single-phase source. It is capable to be scaled to 4 directors of Engine and from tens and up to 960 latest hard and solid-state drives. A system supports use of the software, best in the industry, including FAST VP (Fully Automated Storage Tiering with Virtual Pools) and utilities of local replication EMC TimeFinder.
• Providing capacity for storage in several minutes: Symmetrix VMAXe can be configured in several minutes using the built-in EMC Virtual Provisioning which simplifies management and improves efficiency of use of capacity due to its selection as required.
• Magnificent opportunities of replication: thanks to the replication feature of the software of EMC RecoverPoint which is built in the Symmetrix VMAXe system it is possible to provide continuous data protection (continuous data protection, CDP) both continuous local and remote replication (continuous local replication and continuous remote replication, CLR and CRR) between VMAXe, other arrays of EMC and the third producers for protection against accidents, migration and data recovery as of any timepoint in last (any-point-in-time).
• The simplified management: Symmetrix VMAXe provides the software, best in the class, simplifying management in the virtualized computing environment, including EMC Symmetrix Management Console and Performance Analyzer with a convenient graphic Web control interface and the console in which information is updated in real time, and the software for automatic control of switching of ways of data transmission of EMC PowerPath SE which provides the maximum data availability.
