SOLUTION OVERVIEW

EMC VMAX ALL FLASH For Epic EMR Environments Flash technology is at an inflection point today, rapidly becoming a required technology for the most demanding and mission-critical healthcare applications, such as Epic.

EMC VMAX All Flash is a family of mission-critical enterprise storage systems, engineered from the ground up to realize the full potential of flash technology. They combine high scale, low latency and rich data services that empower software defined data centers to run the most demanding customer workloads. VMAX All Flash provides multi-dimensional scale and best-in-the-industry business continuity and disaster recovery solutions.

CONSOLIDATE AND SIMPLIFY YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE An Epic environment is demanding. Typical deployments include multiple production databases, several Epic and 3rd party applications, as well as additional non-production copies (POC, staging, SUP, Rel); supporting a dynamic and complex environment. To match the performance requirements for each and different workload, the Enterprise could choose to spread an Epic environment across many different types of arrays - but this quickly becomes unmanageable, costly and way too complicated. And consider; healthcare data is projected to grow at 48% per year through 20201.

VMAX All Flash consolidates, simplifies and protects your entire Epic environment in a single management infrastructure; while offering consistent, predictable, low-latency performance to all your workloads. With VMAX All Flash you have room to grow for several years without having to worry about changing your infrastructure again.

File services and element management are embedded in VMAX All Flash—leveraging the latest dense flash drives, providing significant ease-of-control and lowering your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

SIMPLIFY CONSOLIDATE AND SIMPLIFY YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE Simple, integrated management for both Block and File storage deliver consistent, predictable and low latency performance with improved TCO

PROTECT HIGHEST LEVEL OF DATA PROTECTION AND AVAILABILITY Data integrity and security is mission critical for all your clinical applications

Prevent data loss, eliminate unplanned downtime and assure uninterrupted workflow at point of care

PERFORM HIGHEST PERFORMANCE AT CLOUD SCALE Scale up and out without sacrificing consistent performance

Consolidate your entire datacenter – eliminate sprawl, merge & acquire new workloads, operation centers and opportunities

Transform your Health IT

ENAS IS THE FIRST, FULLY INTEGRATED, MISSION-CRITICAL NAS SOLUTION IN THE INDUSTRY File services, such as those required by Epic Web BLOB storage are now embedded inside VMAX. Embedded NAS (eNAS) integrates BLOCK / FILE and provides simple, integrated management via Unisphere. eNAS extends VMAX data services to all the File protocols.

This lowers your TCO due to less hardware requirements, ease of management and faster time to deployment.

TCO FRIENDLY: 6X MORE IOPS WITH 87% LESS ENERGY, 92% LESS FOOTPRINT = 40% LOWER TCO VMAX All Flash reduces your datacenter’s environmental footprint. Compared to the previous generation, VMAX All Flash uses 87% less energy for power and cooling, 97% less footprint for the same capacity and up to 98% fewer drive replacements2. This leads to 40% lower TCO, while delivering 6 times more IOPS.

HEALTHCARE DEMANDS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF DATA PROTECTION AND AVAILABILITY Enterprises lose an estimated US $8000 per minute over unplanned downtime3. When one considers the cost to patient care, staff disruptions and public relations, the cost skyrockets.

VMAX All Flash delivers mission critical clinical data security and data protection. With VMAX All Flash, you can virtually eliminate data loss and unplanned downtime. Architected for 6-9s availability, it includes true parallel non-disruptive upgrades (NDU), sub-controller fault isolation and cache data consistency technologies.

D@RE – DATA-AT-REST ENCRYPTION IS FIPS CERTIFIED Designed to protect against unauthorized access when a drive is physically removed from the array, controller-based D@RE encrypts the entire array at the drive level with no performance impact. D@RE supports all VMAX data services for both block and file data. It includes an embedded RSA encryption key manager, uses AES 256 encryption and is FIPS 140-2 certified.

SNAPVX – SNAPSHOTS EVOLVED SnapVX is designed for performance and scale. This new technology can create 1000s of pointer-based, writable snapshots that use minimal additional capacity with virtually no performance impact. The snapshots are only allocated on write, providing space savings comparable to deduplication. SnapVX is also integrated with applications and databases making consistent copies easier to use.

• Broadest OS, Server, Database and Cluster support

Epic environments have multiple copies of Caché and Clarity databases. SnapVX snapshots, instead of full copies, are space-efficient and with integrated EMC AppSync, are easy to manage.

SRDF – GOLD STANDARD IN REMOTE REPLICATION SRDF (Symmetrix Remote Data Facility) supports the world’s most mission critical applications at scale – with 20+ years of engineering innovation, proven global distances over 8,000 miles, and the industry’s highest attach rate at 70%.

SRDF can be configured in as little as 2 minutes as Synchronous, Asynchronous and Metro high-availability modes in 2, 3 and 4 site configurations.

SRDF complements Epic Caché mirroring and protects non-Caché data without any additional infrastructure.

PROTECTPOINT – FASTER FULL BACKUPS ProtectPoint provides faster, more efficient full backups while eliminating the impact on application servers and reducing overall cost and complexity. By integrating primary storage with industry leading protection storage (EMC Data Domain storage systems), ProtectPoint eliminates the need for traditional backup applications while still providing the benefits of native full backups.

ProtectPoint supports Epic Caché and Clarity databases.

VMAX ALL FLASH PROVIDES THE HIGHEST PERFORMANCE AT CLOUD SCALE

ARCHITECTED FOR FLASH VMAX All flash is engineered to maximize the potential of flash – designed for blazing high IOPS up to 4 Million, massive bandwidth up to 150 GB /s and gigantic scale up to 4.3 PB, supported by multi-core and multi-threaded capabilities and a very low latency fabric to communicate between engines.

Remote mirroring with zero data loss

Extended distance remote replication

Active/active replication for zero RTO/RPO

SRDF Synchronous is array-based with high

performance and scale, and provides application

consistent recovery.

SRDF Aynchronous offers tunable, granular, and predictable RPO. It also

utilizes remote link resiliency to minimize

network issues.

SRDF Metro features application and cluster integration to automate failover / failback and enables non-disruptive

VMAX migrations.

Flash durability is intelligently managed – with a large global cache memory, VMAX All Flash minimizes write impacts that can be serviced out-of-flash. VMAX also has advanced flash “wear” analytics that will proactively ready a spare in the event a drive is nearing its useful life.

VMAX All Flash maintains extremely low latency, under 0.5 milliseconds, for transactional workloads with a mix of small and large blocks, and a mix of reads and writes. FlashBoost, which does a parallel bypass of cache for reads directly from flash while also pulling the data into cache, further lowers the latency.

SIMPLE TO SCALE UP AND OUT VMAX All Flash has radically simplified packaging. Start small with a single V-Brick that includes the software and easily add capacity for growth without having to deal with capacity based software licensing charges. From there, scale out V-bricks to add performance, connectivity, and throughput. This allows both capacity and performance to be scaled independently. V-brick and drive upgrades are pre-packed to simplify ordering and pricing.

CONVERGE AND CONSOLIDATE THE DATACENTER VBlock, from VCE-EMC, is the market leader in converged infrastructure. It offers unmatched choice, flexibility, and reliability for transforming IT and accelerating operations to cloud speed. Studies show, it leads to 4 times faster deployment, 96% reduction in downtime and 50% reduction in datacenter costs4.

VBlock System 740 is the flagship converged infrastructure for enterprise scale mission-critical applications and mixed workloads and is available with VMAX All Flash. The simple packaging and radically simple model, combined with the high end data services and scale compliment the benefits of deploying VBlock with VMAX.

Designed for mixed workloads at Cloud scale, VMAX All Flash enables you to consolidate, not just Epic, but your entire datacenter on a single infrastructure, further lowering your CAPEX and OPEX.
