GEC NEWS WIRENew Capabilities to Boost Performance, Scalability, Workload Consolidation and Automation
In the 18 months since becoming available, XtremIO has risen to become the fastest-selling product in EMC history and the market’s top-selling all-flash storage array according to IDC. To add yet another feather to the cap, EMC has unveiled XtremIO version 4.0, a non-disruptive free software upgrade to XtremIO v3.X arrays. Nicknamed “The Beast” by customers, XtremIO 4.0 leverages XtremIO’s breakthrough scale-out architecture, more than doubling previous density with 40TBs per X-Brick and by offering configurations of up to eight 40TB X-Bricks, with non-disruptive performance and capacity expansions that automatically rebalances data to maintain consistent and predictable sub-millisecond performance.
XtremIO 4.0 comes with new features like enhanced data protection, bigger, faster clusters, online expansion, application automation, multi-array management, more powerful interface, more scalability and federation enterprise Hybrid Cloud 3.0
“The data center of the future has to be agile, built around IT infrastructure technology that supports the speed at which enterprises need to adapt and respond to dynamic business conditions. This has specific implications for storage in these environments, requiring high performance, broad scalability and flexibility, extremely high availability and an ability to easily integrate into evolving data center workflows” says Eric Burgener, Research Director, IDC. “EMC XtremIO meets these requirements – key factors in its #1 market share position (by IDC’s reckoning) by revenue in the high growth All Flash Array market – and has improved upon them with this latest release.”
Guy Churchward, President, EMC Core Technologies says, “When we launched XtremIO we explained that ‘architecture matters,’ and in the past year this has been validated by the market as XtremIO became the #1 all-flash array in record time. With XtremIO 4.0, we’ve boosted that solid foundation with scale and data services that truly transform not just the speed at which applications run, but the entire way in which they’re deployed. XtremIO is the strategic asset in the data center that simply redefines what’s possible.”
