VNXe systems are uniquely capable a of delivering unified IP storage for NAS and iSCSI while simplifying operations a and reducing management overhead. Application-centric management and The EMC VNXe3300 provisioning wizards result in immediate familiarity for users, while integration of snapshot and replication with storage management workflows results in streamlined operations and uniform data protection coverage. The EMC VNXe3150 DATA SHEET Compact storage platforms—The VNXe’s unified IP architecture results in lots of capability in a small package. High-availability, dual controller designs fit in only 2U or 3U of rack space. Simple capacity management and growth—By organizing raw capacity into pools of high-performance and high-capacity SAS drives, VNXe systems take the complexity out of storage management. Easily provision new applications from available pools and expand pools with convenient disk packs. The EMC VNXe3300 (rear view) Advanced storage efficiency—Less can be more when you create new storage with VNXe’s thin provisioning capability (simply enable as you create new volumes or storage for new applications such as email). Add to the efficiency with file-level deduplication and compression to reduce physical capacity needs by 50 percent or more. MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY IS SIMPLE The EMC VNXe3150 (rear view) VNXe systems were designed with a management philosophy in mind: keep it simple. It’s storage from the application’s point of view with one clear way to handle any task—from initial installation to creating storage for virtual servers. You can shift from managing file shares to creating application storage without missing a beat. The bottom line: you can save time and steps. Provisioning storage for 500 mailboxes or 100 gigabytes of virtual server storage can be done in less than 10 minutes. Application-driven provisioning and management enables you to easily consolidate your storage. VNXe systems understand how many mailboxes you are creating, for example, and manage storage for server virtualization and file share so you can focus on your business-critical applications. Complemented by Unisphere management and Unisphere Remote, the VNXe Series is also ideal for remote office-branch office (ROBO) and imbedded/OEM/federal use cases. VNXe: DESIGNED TO BE HIGHLY FLEXIBLE AND AVAILABLE It begins with the hardware—high availability, scalability, and adaptability to future needs, to name a few. The VNXe hardware platforms take advantage of the latest processor technology from Intel, and include features that help you meet future needs for growth and change head on. Flex I/O expansion—VNXe systems come with one-Gb/s Ethernet connections standard for NAS and iSCSI, plus Flex I/O slots that provide additional one-Gb/s ports to expand connectivity and performance. The VNXe also supports the option of 10-Gb/s connectivity. Six-Gb/s serial-attached SCSI (SAS) drives and enclosures—The latest SAS interface delivers the industry’s highest transfer rates along with simple capacity expansion, enterprise performance, and end-to-end data integrity features. VNXe systems also supports Flash drives for performance-intensive applications including virtual desktop. And, for data at rest security use cases, self-encrypting drive array options are now available. Start small—VNXe systems give you the flexibility to buy only what you need today—whether that means capacity, performance, or features. When growth comes, you’ll be ready. The VNXe3150 can also start as a single controller system and be upgraded to a dual controller system as demands dictate. Availability and data protection—The VNXe’s high-availability design, including mirrored cache and dual active controllers, is architected to eliminate single points-of-failure. If an outage occurs, data in the VNXe write cache is safely stored in Flash memory, eliminating time-limited battery backup and external power supplies. VNXe SOFTWARE—WHAT WILL YOU NEED TO DO NEXT? IT environments everywhere are constantly under pressure to improve productivity while meeting service levels and keeping costs down. Whether managing one or multiple sites, simple and efficient delivery of storage services for the IT ecosystem ensures the business is optimizing virtualized applications, improving utilization and ensuring valuable data is protected and secure. VNXe supports tight integration with VMware to further facilitate efficient management of virtualized environments. Every VNXe unified storage platform comes with base software solutions, including EMC Unisphere™ for application-aware management, file deduplication with compression for increased efficiency, thin provisioning for adding storage on-demand, as well as CIFS, NFS, and iSCSI. The VNXe3150 also includes snapshots for local data protection. To address needs ranging from disaster recovery to application backup and restore, EMC has packaged unique and powerful add-on storage software into easy-to-use suites to ensure maximum protection and security for your VNXe unified storage platforms.
