Full Story:

EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) today introduced the new EMC(® )Symmetrix(®) VMAXe((TM) )storage system, innovative storage technology designed for virtualized cloud and mission critical IT environments.  The VMAXe system enables more IT organizations, both domestically and in rapidly expanding markets such as India, China, Eastern Europe and others, to accelerate their journey to cloud computing.

The Symmetrix VMAXe has the same industry leading Virtual Matrix Architecture(TM) and innovative software as larger Symmetrix VMAX systems used in the world's largest data centers.  Designed for organizations with limited storage expertise and IT resources, it features a new hardware design for a smaller footprint, and built-in software for fast installation, configuration and management.

The rapid adoption of cloud computing around the world is creating exponential data growth that many organizations are struggling to manage with limited staff, space and budgets.  The Symmetrix VMAXe addresses these challenges with the most sophisticated levels of storage automation, simplified management and provisioning, scalable performance, local and remote replication and the ability to simultaneously support thousands of virtual machines from VMware and others.

Symmetrix VMAXe Highlights:

    --  New Hardware Design: Symmetrix VMAXe combines the Virtual Matrix
        Architecture, which delivers data center-class availability, with a new
        Intel multi-core processor-based Engine design, dense packaging and
        single-phase power. It can scale up to 4 Engines and from tens to up to
        960 of the latest disk and flash drives.  It supports leading high-end
        software capabilities, including FAST VP (fully automated storage
        tiering with virtual pools) and EMC TimeFinder(® ) local replication
        software.
    --  Provisions in Minutes: Symmetrix VMAXe can be configured in minutes with
        built-in EMC Virtual Provisioning(TM) that simplifies management and
        improves utilization by enabling storage to be allocated as needed.
    --  Unmatched Replication: The Symmetrix VMAXe system's built-in integration
        with EMC RecoverPoint replication software, enables continuous data
        protection (CDP) and continuous local and remote replication (CLR and
        CRR) between a VMAXe and other EMC and non-EMC storage arrays for
        disaster recovery, migrations and any-point-in-time recovery of data.
    --  Simplified Management: Symmetrix VMAXe provides leading software to
        simplify the management of virtual computing environments.  This
        includes EMC Symmetrix Management Console and Performance Analyzer with
        an easy-to- navigate web GUI and real-time dashboard views and EMC
        PowerPath® SE automated path failover software for maximum availability
        as well as several others.
    --  Now Available Worldwide: EMC is making high end storage capabilities
        available through more channels around the world than ever before.  The
        Symmetrix VMAXe can be purchased from EMC Velocity Channel partners or
        direct from EMC immediately.
