EMC Corporation has unveiled EMC Unity™, a new family of storage systems that helps simplify and modernize the data center. Unity is the latest member of EMC’s all flash portfolio delivering highly affordable file and block storage for small and medium-sized IT departments.
Unity joins EMC’s portfolio of all-flash storage arrays – XtremIO®, VMAX® All Flash and DSSD™ D5™ – to ensure that, no matter what a customer needs, EMC has a purpose-built solution to fit virtually any data center use case.
Simple By Design
EMC Unity offers cloud-like proactive management and monitoring through a modern HTML5 task-oriented interface that leads the user through daily operations and integrates with VMware and Microsoft ecosystems for easy third-party management.
It features new Proactive Assist™ capabilities designed to give IT control, visibility and automated management of Unity storage systems. Unity service data can also be viewed within EMC MyService360™, a new online service providing customers with real-time visibility into the health and wellness of their EMC environment. MyService360 provides IT with analysis of EMC product code levels, connectivity status, capacity alerts, service activity by site, and more.
Mandar Marulkar, Vice President-Chief Information Officer, KPIT Cummins, explained, “The specifications of Full SSD or hybrid, cloud tiering and capacity of 80TB SSD in 2U form factor make for a great product. What makes EMC Unity a far more attractive proposition is that it comes with 40% lower cost as compared to equivalent VNX or other industry storage appliances.”
Rajesh Janey, President – India and SAARC at EMC, informed, “EMC Unity offers modern data center simplicity and all-flash performance in an affordable package. Designed specifically to get the most out of all-flash media, EMC is making it simpler and more affordable for both SMEs and enterprises to modernize their data centers. This would most definitively enable businesses to adopt more scalable storage propositions. With the launch of Unity, 2016 is truly the year of all-flash for EMC.”
