Last Monday, EMC unveiled a new design for its Clariion midrange storage aimed at giving midsized businesses more performance and flexibility, and will roll out the first arrays based on the new architecture. Looks like they are really serious into breaking more into the midsize market instead of just the big bucks customers like they did last time.
EMC’s new Clariion UltraScale design adds end-to-end support for 4Gbps Fibre Channel technology, allows users to consolidate multiple storage tiers in one array and mix 2Gbps and 4Gbps disk drives with varying levels of speed and capacity. The UltraScale architecture also includes EMC’s Virtual logical unit number technology, which enables data movement among various types of disk drives within the array.
The powerful EMC CLARiiON CX3 UltraScale series of networked storage systems delivers maximum business benefits—with new levels of performance, scalability, flexibility, and ease-of-use. All at prices that match your budget. Choose from the cost-effective EMC CLARiiON CX3 model 20, the midrange powerhouse CX3 model 40, or the CX3 model 80—the world’s largest, most powerful midrange storage array.
