It offers new features, EMC CLARiiON CX4 storage

EMC Corporation has further extended its midrange storage leadership unveils new virtualization-ready features in EMC CLARiiON CX4 networked storage systems. Today, EMC further extend its benefits in other midrange storage offering simplified management, higher storage consolidation, integrated data protection and
Business Continuity with VMware environments, new proposals, including:

* Virtualization software to protect the EMC Navisphere Manager
* 10 GB / s iSCSI and 8 Gb / s Fiber Channel (FC) native connectivity Ultra Flex
* Personal data protection and replication capabilities EMC RecoverPoint and EMC Replication Manager Software

These new features are the main tools for customers building private clouds and "fully virtual" information infrastructure.

Management problems associated with virtual environments is increasing information and further doubling every eighteen months. The biggest challenge for leaders of virtual storage environment seeks What the virtual machine uses the storage resources. EMC's first storage vendor to resolve this problem with local access requirement to automate the management, discovery and reporting of virtual machine so that both storage and server administrators can work together to better manage and report on the exploitation of resources in the virtual and physical environments.

Simplified and Enhanced End-to-end virtual server environments

Virtualization-Aware, Navisphere Manager simplifies the most difficult and time storage management tasks through integration with VMware vCenter APIs and associated virtual machines and their storage resources, ranks first in the local memory management platform interface. It allows customers to:

* Ensure that the common tasks faster and easier to queues, for example, looked to virtual machine performance problems and optimize capacity utilization. For example, setting and reporting on VMware environment and mapping backend storage 10 VMware ESX Server environment can go from 200 screens, 2 screen-100X improve the efficiency of both storage and VMware administrators.
* Automatically find and maintain contact between the logical and physical, providing a broad approach that allows users to work in a few minutes past each hour. This possibility, together with EMC CLARiiON Storage Viewer free download software with VMware vCenter provide a plug-in Virtual Machine and storage administrators a common language when it comes to solving the most intractable problems in storage environment with VMware.

At higher storage consolidation in VMware environments

As speed requirements of virtual environments to increase, state-of-the-art connection is important. To help meet the needs of customers, VMware, EMC Provides 10GB / s iSCSI and 8GB / s FC Connectivity Ultra Flex CLARiiON CX4 storage system. With its unique Ultra-Flex technology allows EMC users:

* Shuffle 1Gb / s iSCSI, 4 GB / s FC 8 Gb / s FC and 10 Gb / s iSCSI from one system and new opportunities to renew or 10 GB / s iSCSI or 8 Gb / s FC on the Web. EMC is the only storage, which offers online renewal option for both protocols.
* To ensure the "future ready", easy to integrate technologies such as Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), which is scheduled for next year, complements EMC's current Which FCoE Connectrix switch solutions.

EMC has also enhanced the scalability, VMware environment that allows users to add up to eight times more virtual machines on a single CLARiiON storage system offers unparalleled flexibility and elasticity. The powerful combination of an additional zone, ease of use and ability to support thousands of virtual servers is critical for VMware customers, because it increases the performance and drive more consolidated into a single array.

Integrated data protection and business continuity in a virtual environment

How Virtualizing against consumers move their applications, their need for rapid Disaster Recovery (DR) and business continuity (BC) solutions for site and system level of protection has become critical. A new virtualization-ready RecoverPoint enables customers to:

Administer or copied for storage of virtual and physical servers from a single view. It is the only solution that integrates with VMware vCenter automatic replication of virtual machine management.
Identify unsafe or virtual machines, while improving the active management of the environment through automatic alarms, especially in the CLARiiON environment.
or maintain efficiency and safety without the additional traffic and synchronous and asynchronous remote replication needs. This new feature allows customers and synchronous and asynchronous replication, with zero data loss in the normal synchronous operation and the operational level of data protection using asynchronous duplication of the best on the I / O mares.

Moreover, the new version of Replication Manager, instant image-level recovery of virtual machines stronger data protection and recovery objectives together. It allows customers to:

and protect the entire virtual machine environment and provide a simplified, point-and-click recovery of virtual machines to speed up the recovery time objective (RTO).
Achievement level or reproduce a virtual machine under VMware ESX Server environment, substantially reduce the impact on production.

Today, EMC introduced EMC's proven solutions that are enabled VMware vSphere CLARiiON CX4 and 4 to help customers take full advantage of these new opportunities. Solution of action have now available to provide a detailed technical review and best practices designed to enhance mission-critical applications through virtualization. This solution uses virtualization capabilities Navisphere Manager, a better understanding of the usefulness of determination of physical and virtual assets intersection. This requirement meets the performance requirements of critical applications by increasing PowerPath load balancing / Virtual Edition. Overall, this solution gives you all the consolidation of business critical applications, better ROI on IT infrastructure.

Nations around the world use CLARiiON CX4 storage system, VMware environments with new virtualization-aware management, data protection and replication technologies and advanced energy efficient technologies such as automatic disk spin-down and virtual provisioning (also known as thin provisioning) to reduce their costs and improve service levels.

Argeweb based in Holland, is one of the fastest growing providers of domain registration and Web hosting services, including server hosting, online backup, and organized exchanges.

"Argeweb've achieve significant cost savings and productivity improvements as installing virtualization-aware CLARiiON Navisphere Manager. The decision easier for our virtual infrastructure and information management," said Ruben van der Zwan, IT manager at Argeweb. "High availability and scalability for CLARiiON storage systems ensure that all our important customer data is accessible at all times. We also see significant savings, as an automatic consequence of back-down feature is available for CLARiiON and reduce downtime in connection with the storage capacity of the fact his group. "

Boston Medical Center is a private, non-profit, 626-licensed bed Academic Medical Center. University Hospital is the main branch of the Boston University School of Medicine. Emphasizes community-based care, Boston Medical Center with its mission to consistently accessible health care for all is the largest safety net hospital in New England. BMC offers a wide range of child and adult primary care from family medicine advanced special care and has the largest 24-hour Level 1 Trauma Center in New England.

Boston Medical Center and was challenged by the complexity characteristic of managing a virtual environment, namely the lack of visibility into our data recovery, problems with reporting and active alerts in distress, "said Joe Pesaturo, Storage Architect at Boston Medical Center." Our CLARiiON storage virtualization-aware system Navisphere Manager provides us with detailed views of our virtual machines and automatic monitoring of our data. In addition, the CLARiiON Ultra Flex technology greatly simplified management and reduced its costs, allowing us to go through programs shot by using FC, iSCSI and storage provisioning software, virtual imaging programs.

Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP a full service law firm with more than 600 lawyers in the U.S. and London, a branch, use Navisphere Manager Virtualization-aware and energy efficient technologies such as hard disk spin down.

"CLARiiON storage environment, armed with Navisphere Manager and spin-down functionality that have helped our organization more easily and effectively manage your information and virtual infrastructure," says A. Diaz, Business Development Manager Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP. Spin-down has helped us reduce the costs associated with our administrative and back-up environment where we have large quantities of data being used less frequently. Navisphere Manager full version for us to better manage and protect the distribution of VMware virtual machines on our platform, central console. "

"Customers in accordance with the virtual server environment, let us know that they have three basic requirements, reduce costs, simplify management and increase existing investments," says Ronnie Latinazo, Country Manager at EMC Philippines. "The dynamic nature of server virtualization has changed IT infrastructure. Utilities customers use to manage these facilities must also be changed so that customers can maximize the impact and benefits of virtualization. These new opportunities for further EMC's clear leader, but a supplier of storage by providing relevant and data center and private clouds "in the future, today."
