EMC revamps Its Security Solutions with Advanced Features

EMC Corporation has announced that the company is delivering more data protection with updates to EMC VMAX enterprise storage, a new frame-based licensing model for EMC VPLEX virtual storage making VPLEX more accessible to midrange customers, and a new version of EMC RecoverPoint that delivers powerful new integration with EMC SRDF.

With new SRDF and RecoverPoint 4.0 integration, VMAX is the only tier-I storage array offering simultaneous Continuous Data Protection (CDP) and remote copies on the same LUN. Customers can now recover every write, and at any point-in-time between copies. In addition, RecoverPoint 4.0 is capable of protecting 7X more data, delivers a 4X increase in the number of protected volumes to over 8,000 volumes per cluster, and offers expanded asynchronous throughput by over 60% to 400MB/second.

Brian Gallagher, President, Enterprise Storage Division, EMC, said, "As customers continue to transform their data centers, EMC continues to innovate and deliver the world’s most trusted, powerful and smart storage solutions. Customers want a trusted technology partner that has both a long-term vision and the ability execute. In the last three years, EMC has delivered seven major updates and over 100 new features to the VMAX family. It is this marriage of vision and innovation that is driving our growth, including double-digit growth across VMAX, VPLEX and RecoverPoint. Today's news is a continuum of EMC VMAX delivering the world’s most-trusted storage and data protection."

Besides the abovementioned changes, EMC is now offering a new VPLEX frame-based licensing model for VNX - saving customers up to 50% on their VPLEX investment. With the new licensing model, EMC is building upon and extending that continuous availability to a broader audience.
