Information infrastructure solutions provide EMC has launched a new purpose-built architecture that supports virtual data centers.
The new EMC Virtual Matrix Architecture is able to support hundreds of thousands of VMware and other virtual machines on a single federated storage infrastructure.
EMC says that its latest offering combines the performance and efficiency of scale-up architecture with the cost-effective flexibility of scale-down architecture.
The company also introduced Symmetrix V-Max, a large, high-end storage array based on the new architecture. The system uses multi-core processors to lower power cost and improve input/output per second (IOPS) per dollar.
Symmetrix V- Max also automates storage provisioning reducing the time and complexity of provisioning by 95 percent.
“Virtualization’s ability to maximize resources and automate complex and repetitive manual tasks is overtaking the server world and is now happening in the storage world. EMC is leading the way with the biggest breakthrough in new high-end storage design in nearly two decades, enabling storage customers to deploy a flexible, dynamic, energy-efficient information infrastructure and get the maximum value for their investment,” said said Joe Tucci, EMC Chairman, President and CEO.
