Celerra NSX NAS Gateway

Features: The gateway solution can deliver up to 300,000 NFS operations per second. Combined with the new Celerra software functionality, this data-center-class solution enables customers to scale higher, faster and more cost effectively than ever before.



With new EMC-designed-and-built X-Blade server technology with N+1 clustering, the EMC Celerra NSX can scale performance using simple online upgrades that let customers easily and nondisruptively deploy up to eight X-Blades.



The new Celerra software delivers more scalable management capabilities and better ease of use. New virtual filesystem technology simplifies the management of file systems as customers' capacities grow. This technology presents multiple independent filesystems as a single, virtual filesystem for easier administration, access, manageability and control. It also delivers the new Celerra Automated Volume Management, which, via the Celerra graphical user interface, lets customers easily create optimized system configurations based on predefined workload characteristics.



Also announced is the new EMC Centera FileArchiver (CFA) software that integrates with the open EMC Celerra FileMover application programming interface (API) to deliver policy-based data management and movement.



Additional Celerra NSX benefits include high-availability features such as redundant hot-swappable components, N+1 clustering, dual control stations, and dual uninterrupted power systems (UPS). To improve scalability, the Celerra NSX supports up to 16 terabytes of usable capacity per X-Blade, with a maximum system capacity of 112 terabytes.



Price: A four-X-Blade Celerra NSX system has a list price of $278,250. This configuration includes dual management stations, dual uninterrupted power systems (UPS), the CIFS protocol, EMC Celerra SnapSure for local replication, and EMC Celerra Manager for Web-based management.
