Dell EMC Enterprise Storage VMAX 200K

Product Description

Overview:

EMC VMAX 200K mission-critical storage systems take performance availability and agility to cloud scale. You&rsquoll benefit from the VMAX3 architecture which offers you new levels of performance and performance density. And now the industry&rsquos leading Tier 1 array is also a data services platform for provisioning and managing mainframe embedded file services backup and other rich data services.

EMC VMAX3 arrays let you provision storage virtually and set your service level objective with 1 click. Select SLOs for resources within your VMAX 200K or via FAST.X to external storage including EMC XtremIO VNX or third party storage. You&rsquore on your way to automating modernizing and converging your data center infrastructure.

Select the EMC VMAX 200K storage array that best suits your block and file or mainframe workloads with hybrid storage and the amount of flash you need. With the versatility of VMAX storage you can easily consolidate thousands of mixed workloads and even deploy a hybrid cloud architecture.

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.
