Short Description:
Analysis of EMC's VNX mid range product. This analysis covers the SAN (Block)capabilities
Full Summary:
The EMC VNX series of storage systems are a family of systems that provides unified file and block storage and replace the CLARiiON and Celerra product lines. The systems provide a wide set of connectivity options for block access and for file access as a NAS system. There are two different series in the VNX family: the VNXe which is targeted as an entry level storage system and the VNX which is a mid-tier system.
The VNX represents an evolution of the long available CLARiiON and Celerra products where the two systems have been combined to provide a single, scalable storage system. The CLARiiON has been a successful product line from EMC resulting from the acquisition of Data General. Multiple generations of the CLARiiON have been delivered. EMC has now moved away from the CLARiiON name with incorporation of the successful Celerra NAS system into a combined product.
Evaluator Group Note: The VNX and VNXe will both be described in this analysis even though they are targeted at different segments of the market. The combined functionality of the block and file storage will also be described here but the details of the NAS implementation will be covered in the NAS section of the Evaluator Group ES/OL. For information on the NAS functionality, please see the VNX NAS Product Analysis
