Corporation
the
world leader in information infrastructure solutions, announced a
series of launches at an event held at EMC's Innovation and
Development Center in Singapore. Journalists from all across the Asia
Pacific region amassed at the Innovation Center for one of the three
global mega launch events that were held at Singapore, New York and
London. In conformity with the theme of the event 'Record Breakers',
EMC entered the Guinness Book of World Records with four marketing
stunts, announced by Chris Lee, VP-Marketing (APJ), EMC.
company
introduced multiple new storage systems and software
features, with more than 40 new technologies and products in
all-including new arrays for SMBs, unified systems for the
mid-range, software for its high-end systems and disk-based backup
and recovery and archiving systems.
company announced a significant array of disk-based backup
advancements that substantially alter the existing landscape for
backup and recovery-EMC Data Domain Global Deduplication Array
(GDA). This incorporates two of the new EMC Data Domain DD890
controllers, making the GDA the world's fastest deduplication
storage system. GDA also supports the EMC Data Domain Virtual Tape
Library software option. New high-end Data Domain DD890 and DD860
single controller systems also eclipse the throughput of competing
solutions by up to a factor of 8.
breadth
of offerings and level of product integration in EMC's
disk-based backup portfolio offers an unmatched set of capabilities
and enables users of EMC backup and recovery solutions to transform
their legacy infrastructure and further minimize the use of tape,”
said Shane Jackson, VP-Marketing, Backup Recovery Systems Division,
EMC.
of
the company's launches was EMC Data Domain Archiver, one of the
industry's first long-term retention system for backup and
archiving. The system delivers new operational efficiencies while
eliminating the costs and complexities associated with a tape-based
data retention approach.
the EMC Data Domain Archiver, customers can extend their backup
redesign efforts to address long-term data retention requirements-all
on a single disk-based deduplication storage system. This is a simple
and cost-effective approach for customers, and the solution is based
on the industry's leading deduplication storage solution,” stated
BJ Jenkins, President, Backup Recovery Systems Division, EMC.
also
announced new software capabilities for its industry leading
Symmetrix VMAX storage systems, increasing performance and
simplifying the way petabytes (1 petabyte= 1,000 terabytes) of
information can be managed. The Symmetrix Enginuity software doubles
system performance with no hardware upgrade required. It fully
leverages Intel Xeon technology integrated into VMAX to deliver up to
twice as many OLTP transactions and DSS queries.
growth is driven by trends like mission-critical virtual
applications, private clouds and Big Data applications. To manage and
secure that information, organizations will need a storage
infrastructure that is both powerful and smart,” said Brian
Gallagher, President, Symmetrix and Virtualization Product Group,
EMC.
company has hit the
mid-market with a new family of unified storage systems-EMC VNX and
VNXe. The latter is designed specifically for SMBs, department level
storage solutions for enterprise, and remote or branch offices,
combining breakthrough simplicity with advanced performance,
availability, and efficiency benefits. Rich Napolitano, President,
Unified Storage Division, EMC, branding the entry-level VNXe as
'simple, efficient and affordable' said, “This is the most
significant mid-range announcement in EMC's 30-year history. The
VNX family sets the stage for all of our future products in EMC's
mid-range portfolio. We have converged the best attributes of EMC
CLARiiON storage area network (SAN) and EMC Celerra network attached
storage (NAS) systems into one powerful platform-armed with the
industry's most advanced automated tiering software to exploit the
benefits of SSDs. EMC brings tremendous simplicity and
enterprise-class storage to SMBs-affordably.”
