GEC NEWS WIREPaving the way to hyperconsolidate and connect premise workloads into a hybrid cloud environment
Brocade’s Gen 5 Fibre Channel, the purpose-built network infrastructure for data center storage will be an integral part of the new EMC VSPEX with VMAX³ 100K converged infrastructure solution. The new solution which was unveiled earlier this month at the 2015 EMC World is purpose built to deliver and manage predictable service levels at scale for hybrid clouds.
Based on the VMAX3 Dynamic Virtual Matrix Architecture, VSPEX with VMAX 100K is proven by EMC to deliver up to 2800 virtual machines with physical configurations that start with a single VMAX3 engine and frame. Expandable to up to four storage frames, the VSPEX with VMAX 100K architecture provides organizations the ability to start small and scale up as the needs arise. This unprecedented level of scalability has never been offered in a VSPEX solution.
Available exclusively through EMC VSPEX-enabled business partners, the VSPEX family expansion with VMAX 100K provides customers the ability to seamlessly bridge their VMware private cloud deployment with public clouds.
“Gen 5 Fibre Chanel delivers several important capabilities that take SAN reliability, availability and management simplicity to the next level, reducing operational costs,” said Mr. Yarob Sakhnini, Regional Director, MEMA at Brocade.
“Brocade Fibre Channel SANs are trusted, best-of-breed solutions for more than 50,000 EMC high-end storage customers in many of the world’s most demanding environments,” said Gil Shneorson, Vice President, General Manager, VSPEX, EMC Corporation. “The Brocade SAN technologies were a logical choice for supporting the VSPEX VMAX³ 100K converged architecture to enable the same reliability, agility and simplicity for enterprises who want to deliver services via hybrid-cloud IT architectures.”
