VNX Series delivers industry-leading innovation and
enterprise capabilities for file, block storage in
a scalable, easy-to-use solution. This next-
generation storage platform combines powerful and
flexible hardware with advanced efficiency,
management, and protection software to meet the
demanding needs of today’s enterprises. All of this
is available in a choice of systems ranging from
affordable entry-level solutions to high-
performance, petabyte capacity configurations
servicing the most demanding application
requirements. VNX series designed to meet the high
performance, high scalability requirements of
midsize and large enterprises.
Powerful, efficient, protect, simple
A robust platform for consolidation of legacy block
storage, file servers, and direct-attached
application storage, VNX series enables
organizations to dynamically grow, share, and cost-
effectively manage multi-protocol file systems and
multi protocol block storage access. VNX operating
environment enables Microsoft Windows and Linux/
UNIX clients to share files in multi-protocol
environments. At the same time, it supports iSCSI,
FC, and FCoE access for high-bandwidth and latency-
sensitive block applications. Ideal for mixed
workloads, both physical and virtual, The VNX
series next-generation storage platform is powered
by the latest Intel Multi-Core Xeon E5-2600 series
with a 6Gb/s SAS drive back-end and delivers more
firepower, greater efficiency, better protection
all with ease.
Flash optimized to boost performance
VNX Series enabled with MCx (multi-core
optimization) unleashes the power of Flash to
address the high performance, low latency
requirements of virtualized applications. The
traditional approach to building a hybrid array
entails adding flash drives to a traditional hard
disk based array This approach allows for
consolidation of multiple workloads and deliver low
€/GB. However, since the system was not designed
for flash, it limits the scalability and increases
the cost. A better option is the VNX series Flash
Optimized hybrid array design. By designing the
system for Flash, bottlenecks are eliminated to
deliver the highest performance and the lowest
latency. Then, by adding FAST VP tiering and high
capacity NL-SAS drives, you can drive down costs
for inactive data. MCx (Multi-Core RAID, Multi-
Core Cache and Multi-Core FAST Cache) distributes
all VNX data services across all Cores : up to 32.
This approach delivers unprecedented application
performance while maintaining affordable pricing.
Compared to the previous generation, the VNX series
with MCx delivers: Up to 4X more file transactions,
Up to 4X more Oracle and SQL OLTP transactions, Up
to 4X more virtual machines, Up to 3X more
bandwidth for Oracle and SQL data warehousing.
Use storage capacity more efficiently
When even a few Flash drives are combined with the
FAST Suite an unrivaled set of software that tiers
data across heterogeneous drives and boosts the
most active data to cache customers receive the
optimal benefits of a FLASH 1st strategy. FLASH
1st, available only through EMC, ensures customers
never have to make concessions for cost or
performance. Highly active data is served from up
to 4.2 TB of Flash drives with FAST Cache, which
dynamically absorbs unpredicted spikes in system
workloads. As that data ages and becomes less
active over time, FAST VP (Fully Automated Storage
Tiering for Virtual Pools) automatically tiers the
data from high-performance to high-capacity drives
in 256 MB increments, resulting in overall lower
costs regardless of application type or data age.
Continuous availability
VNX series is architected to provide five-nines
availability in mission-critical business
environments. VNX availability and redundancy
features include:
- Mirrored write cache,
- Battery backup
- RAID protection levels 0, 1, 1/0, 3, 5, 6
- Proactive hot sparing
- Redundant data paths, power supplies, drive
connections, and storage processors all with non-
disruptive field-replacement capabilities
- Continuous system monitoring, call-home
notification, and advanced remote diagnostics
VNX data protection software provides the right
protection for every application need:
- Local protection is delivered with snapshots for
point-in-time recovery and continuous data
protection with RecoverPoint local replication
- Remote protection is available with the same DVR-
like recovery with RecoverPoint Continuous Remote
Replication
- To make application consistent replicas
controlled by the application, Replication Manager
and AppSync provide application protection
delivered as a service.
Management with Unisphere
Unisphere makes it easy to manage VNX systems from
anywhere with a simple, integrated user interface
for distributed storage environments. The Unisphere
dashboard is a single screen for at-a-glance
management and reporting, enabling administrators
to gain instant and actionable knowledge about
what’s occurring across the entire environment.
Unisphere’s single sign on automatically discovers
all VNX, CLARiiON, Celerra, and RecoverPoint SE
installations in the environment for seamless
configuration.
