Dell EMC Enterprise Storage VMAX 100K

Product Description

Overview:

Automate modernize and converge your data center infrastructure with an EMC VMAX 100K storage array. The VMAX 100K is the entry model in our line of VMAX3 systems. VMAX3 isn&rsquot just bigger and faster enterprise data storage. It&rsquos also a data services platform designed to enable file backup mainframe and other rich services.

EMC VMAX3 storage arrays ship with virtual provisioning turned on ready to provision your service level objective with 1 click. Set SLOs for resources within VMAX 100K or with FAST.X for external EMC storage such as XtremIO or third party storage.

With attractive pricing simple management and embedded file services VMAX 100K helps you converge mission-critical block file and mainframe storage to lower your total cost of ownership. Configure your EMC VMAX 100K as a hybrid storage array with the right amount of flash SSD configured for higher IOPS. You'll get the best response time in the smallest footprint and at the lowest cost.

The EMC VMAX3TM is incredibly well suited to solve the CIO challenge of embracing a modernized flash-centric data center and hybrid cloud while simultaneously trying to simplify automate and consolidate IT operations. VMAX3 isn&rsquot just bigger better and faster &ndash which it is &ndash VMAX3 was designed as an enterprise data services platform that specifically addresses the new requirements of the modern data center while continuing to deliver the reliability and availability our customers have relied on for years.

With VMAX3 the industry&rsquos leading tier 1 array has evolved into a highly scalable hardware platform with a complete set of rich software data services servicing internal and now external block storage. VMAX3 data services are delivered by a highly resilient scalable and agile hardware platform that offers global cache CPU (processing) flexibility performance and high availability at scale while meeting the needs of the most demanding mainframe and open systems storage infrastructures.

Powerful

• Scale performance and capacity to support high-demand online transaction processing (OLTP) online analytical processing (OLAP) for enterprise data warehousing (EDW) and big data applications
• Multi-core SMP and flash-optimized design to start small and grow to cloud scale in an efficient footprint that scales from 1000 to 40000 virtual machines per VMAX3 array
• Predictable service levels at scale to ensure achievement of service level objectives for new and existing storage workloads

Trusted

• Always-on availability architecture with advanced fault isolation robust data integrity checking and proven non-disruptive hardware and software UPGRADEs
• Six-nines availability for 24x7xForever operations using SRDF® software the gold standard for multi-site remote replication
• Backup and rapidly restore directly from VMAX3 to Data Domain for reliable recovery and virtually no app server impact using EMC ProtectPoint
• Data at Rest Encryption (FIPS 140-2): secures data meets regulatory requirements

Agile

• 1-click service level assignment to simplify provisioning with automated service level objective delivery across thousands of mixed workloads (mainframe open systems block and file)
• Easily extend VMAX3 enterprise data services to external arrays with FAST.XTM automating storage tiering across the data center and hybrid cloud.
• Gain better insight across your entire data center by using Unisphere 360 to aggregate monitor and report health checks for up to 200 VMAX / VMAX3 arrays from a single screen

Key Features:

• Extend performance and reliability beyond Tier 1 workloads to enterprise data services
• Scale up to 4 VMAX3 engines up to 96 CPU cores per array
• Grow with up to 128 front-end ports and 1 PB usable capacity
• Deliver high performance with Dynamic Virtual Matrix for database OLTP and file workloads
• Shrink data center footprint: VMAX3 engine plus up to 720 drives in a single rack
• Use FAST.X to take advantage of VMAX3 data services on externally tiered workloads such as EMC XtremIO all-flash array or non-EMC storage
• Choose EMC ProtectPoint software (optional) for direct backup to a Data Domain system
• Ensure 99.9999% uptime with always-on availability secure data with optional data at rest encryption
