EMC Products

VNX

•EMC VNX series are a family of systems that provides unified file and block storage

•First generation of VNX replaced the CLARiiON and Celerra product line.

•The second generation VNX increased performance of VNX by 4X and Additional Capacity.

•Provide a wide set of connectivity options for block access and for file access as a NAS system.

Disk-processor enclosure (DPE)

The enclosure is 3U in size and houses each storage processor and the first tray of disk. It can be found on the figure above with 25 (2.5 inch) disks.

Storage processors (SPs)

SP support block data with UltraFles I/O technology – supporting Fibre Channel, iSCSI and FCoE protocols. Storage Processors provide access for all external hosts and the file side of the VNX array.

Storage processor enclosure (SPE)

The enclosure is 2U in size and houses each storage processor. It can be found in VNX5700 and VNX7500 models, support maximum of 500 (VNX5700) and 1,000 drives (VNX7500)

Control Station

Control Station are 1U in size and provide management functions to the file-side components (referred to as Blades or Data Movers). The CS is responsible for Blade failover. To provide HA Control Station might be configured with a matching secondary CS.

Data Mover

Data Mover (or Blade) access data from the back-end and provide host access using the same UltraFlex I/o technology that supports NFS, CIFS, pNFS protocols. The Data Movers in each array are scalable and provide redundancy

Data Mover Enclosure (DME)

The DME is 2U in size and houses the Data Movers (Blades).  The DME is similar in front to SPE and is used on all VNX models that support file.

VMAX

VMAX systems are high-end, scalable storage platforms intended for open systems and mainframe computing.The system grows by aggregating up to eight Symmetrix VMAX engines in a single system with fully shared connectivity, processing, memory and storage capacity resources.

•World most trusted platform

•Multi-Controller HA with Full NDU(Non Disruptive Update)

•Cost Effective scalable performance.

•Purpose built for virtual applications.

•Simple Automated management.

•Auto tearing with fast VP.

•Remote Replication.

•Active Active Controllers.

XtreamIO

Dell EMC XtremIO is a purpose-built all-flash array that provides consistent high performance with low latency; unmatched storage efficiency with inline, all-the-time data services; rich application integrated copy services; and unprecedented management simplicity.

An XtremIO Management Server (XMS) is a required server used to manage the XtremIO storage
system. It can be deployed on a dedicated physical server, or as a virtual machine on VMware
using an OVA template.
