EMC offers virtual data center storage

BANGALORE, INDIA: EMC Corporation, a provider in storage solutions, announced on Wednesday that it has unveiled high-end data storage with new architecture purpose-built to support virtual data centers.

It also announced the first storage system, EMC Symmetrix V-Max system, based on this architecture. This, according to EMC, would serve as a cornerstone of virtual computing infrastructures that are transforming the technology landscape.

Combined with enterprise flash, fibre channel and SATA drives, the Symmetrix V-Max system allows users to cost effectively meet storage requirements for high performance and high capacity in a single system, said a press release.

It joins the EMC Symmetrix DMX-4 system and expands EMC's high-end portfolio.

The Symmetrix V-Max engine at the center of the new system is a flexible building block that features multiple redundant Quad-core Intel Xeon processors with up to 128GB of memory and up to 16 host and 16 drive channel connections, the release added.

The virtual matrix architecture allows Symmetrix V-Max engines to interconnect and share resources. This enables a Symmetrix V-Max system to scale to 1024GB of global memory, with twice as many front-end and back-end connections compared to the Symmetrix DMX-4 systems.

The ability to interconnect and share resources to easily and linearly scale out is a key customer requirement as virtual machines and applications are dynamically added and shifted.

David Donatelli, president of the EMC Storage Division, said, “This is a new approach to storage in terms of both architecture and a new product. Customers moving to virtualized data centers need a storage architecture with flexibility for the future, one that uses less power, costs less with improved functionality and gives them the ability to scale and manage more information without adding resources.”

He added that they have made significant investments over the past several years to develop the Virtual Matrix Architecture with these customer requirements in mind, and the result is another industry breakthrough for EMC.
