EMC VFCache: A Server Flash Cache Extending FAST VP into the server

• Transparent application acceleration through server-side caching

– Intelligent software caches frequently used data – PCIe flash provides low-latency and high

throughput

• Dramatic improvement in application response time with read intensive workloads with small working sets

• No compromises: Five 9s (99.999 percent) data availability

– Full data protection and durability by persisting writes through to the array

Federated Tiered Storage (FTS) Simplify Management and Operations

• Consolidate heterogeneous storage under VMAX* control

– FAST VP, EMC SRDF, EMC TimeFinder, VLUN, VAAI, …

• Extend the life and value of storage assets

• Assure data integrity for external arrays with validation checksums

* Symmetrix VMAX 40K and 20K only

EMC-standard look and feel

Unisphere for Symmetrix VMAX Management modernization

Contextual, simple to navigate

Easily provision, manage, and monitor


EMC ProSphere

Two clicks – To search and see end to end – Understand capacity use and trends – Identify issues and assess impact – Analyze performance—host through array

Federated and scalable – Manage more than 1.1 million volumes,

36,000 SAN ports, and 18,000 hosts

75 percent less hardware 0 agents

“The ease of configuration, discovery, and the ability to collect end-to-end performance without agents is brilliant.”

- Storage Engineer, multi-national investment firm


Next-Generation Unified Storage Optimized for today’s virtualized IT

VNX Modular Architecture—Pools

Virtual Blended Storage Pool

• Block services provided by VNX Storage Processor

• Tiered storage – Choose storage tiers

• Extreme Performance (Flash), Performance (SAS), Capacity (NL-SAS)

– Choose protection per tier (RAID 1/0, 5, 6)

• Each Tier within a pool has a single RAID type

• Raid 5 – 4+1 or 8+1 • Raid 6 – 6+2 or 14+2

– System builds RAID groups

• Tiers are aggregated into virtual blended storage pool
