EMC Unisphere

Simplification of systems begins them with simplification of management. Software allows to make standard actions for management of EMC Unisphere, making at the same time is 90% less than clicks by a mouse. The Unisphere system is also integrated with VMware vCenter that makes work of administrators of VMware considerably easier. Simplification of systems continues in process of their integration. The unified storage systems of EMC are initially integrated with VMware vSphere and the VMware vStorage API interfaces that opens opportunities for integration of virtual arrays (VAAI). The FCoE technology is built also in these arrays. The new technology of compression Block Data Compression reduces volumes of required memory to 50%, and the FAST Cache technology for optimization of performance, thanks to full automation allows applications to work twice quicker, without requiring any attention from the administrator.

EMC simplifies EMC Unisphere storage systems - it is a new view on storage systems management and also integration with VMware vCenter Server and VAAI. This solution provides the simple and integrated tools for systems management of data storage of EMC CLARiiON and EMC Celerra, as in physical, and virtual environments. The solution allows:

Configure applications by the principle "Installed and forgot", allowing to make tuning of such applications as SQL OLTP is 80% faster. Reduce the number of clicks by a mouse, typical tasks, necessary for accomplishment, to 90%. Make on demand providing resources of storage from VMware vCenter Server in only two clicks by a mouse. Increase the capacity of servers of VMware, having reduced the number of transactions of input-output by 10 times for typical tasks, having expanded the number of the virtual machines using storage system to 10 times and also by 10 times to accelerate process of creation, cloning, backup and migration (on VMware Storage vMotion™ technology) virtual machines.

In addition customers get advantage of the built-in support of FCoE on the new unified storage systems of EMC CLARiiON and EMC Celerra that allows to create ready storage system in Ethernet environment. The built-in support of FCoE became result of aspiration of EMC to provide users with a possibility of painless use of advantages of FCoE while it is offered to make software updating for users of already operated CLARiiON and Celerra models online. The built-in support of technology allows customers to minimize the costs for infrastructure connected with need of installation of several adapters of the bus Fiber Chanel (HBA) and also the interface payments (NIC), allowing to consolidate at the same time cable infrastructure and also to considerably reduce costs for power supply and cooling.

EMC increases efficiency of storage systems Virtualization and consolidation of applications create the maximum load on data storage arrays. Use of SSD drives together with the disks SATA allow to meet new increased requirements in the best way. EMC of the first implemented SSD technologies in all lines of storage systems, and understanding of a task of customers, created such opportunities as EMC FAST (completely automated distribution of data on storage levels depending on categories of their use), FAST Cache and also technology of compression Block Data Compression which allow to optimize automatically use of the capacious disks SATA and the fast disks SSD, increasing performance and reducing costs due to use of new solid state drives with a capacity of 100 and 200 Gbytes. New disks allow to save up to 30% of cost of storage because EMC made them the most available. However it is possible to receive complete return from new SSD only within new architecture of storage of EMC which allows customers:

Double performance of Oracle and the Microsoft SQL Server to Seize a response time for VMware View™ more than for 80% to Achieve up to 50% of increase in utilization of storage system due to reduction of number of active data to Reduce total ownership cost to 30%.

Besides customers can get advantages due to use of the new gateways Celerra VG2 and VG8 to storage systems which show twice big performance. New gateways are also completed with EMC software for simplification and increase in efficiency of data storage and also are the first platforms of data storage of the average level using high-performance 64-bitnyeprotsessor of Intel Xeon® 5600.
