News Summary:
-- EMC today introduced the latest versions of its EMC® Ionix(TM) Unified
Infrastructure Manager (UIM) software, unique purpose-built management
software for VCE Vblock Platforms.
-- Ionix UIM simplifies the management and operations across multiple
Vblock Platforms, supporting private, public and hybrid cloud
environments.
-- New Ionix UIM/Provisioning 2.1 software enables "single click"
end-to-end Vblock resource provisioning that is 80% more efficient and 5
times faster than other methods.
-- New Ionix UIM/Operations 2.1 software enables fast problem
identification and resolution of any issues across compute, network and

Full Story:
EMC Corporation today unveiled new versions of its EMC Ionix Unified Infrastructure Manager (UIM) software that simplifies and speeds management of cloud computing infrastructures built on theVirtual Computing Environment Company (VCE) Vblock Infrastructure Platforms. Vblock Platforms bring together best-of-breed technology from Cisco, EMC and VMware into a pre-packaged, pre-validated converged infrastructure.
Highlights:
-- EMC Ionix UIM is unique purpose-built management software for the Vblock
Platform, the industry's first completely integrated offering for
converged infrastructure and cloud computing. Ionix UIM simplifies the
management and operations across multiple Vblock Platforms, supporting
private, public and hybrid cloud environments.
-- The new Ionix UIM/Provisioning 2.1 software is tightly aligned with
VMware vCenter(TM), VMware vCenter Operations and VMware vCloud®
Director cloud infrastructure and management solutions, and features
support for the latest version of Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS)
manager software. This enables "single click" end-to-end Vblock
resource provisioning that is 80% more efficient and 5 times faster than
other methods. Also, an expanded API (application programming interface)
enables provisioning operations to be initiated by external enterprise
management systems.
-- The new Ionix UIM/Operations 2.1 software helps to identify and resolve
issues faster. Leveraging UIM/Provisioning's in-depth information about
Vblock configurations, UIM/Operations allows fast problem identification
and resolution of any issues across compute, network and storage,
helping IT organizations maximize service uptime and efficiency.
-- Ionix UIM 2.1 also supports the new Vblock Series 300. Vblock Series 300
gives customers the choice of more scalability and automation of the
data center operations, allowing simplified management of virtualization
and cloud environments for a quicker return on investment.
