EMC introduces modern data center solutions in India committing to an all flash portfolio, signalling the end of disk to bulk and archive storage
Addressing the challenge of digital transformation for growing companies EMC Corporation have announced new additions to their portfolio which is designed to enable Indian businesses to shift to modern data centres, with all-flash, hyper converged, high-performance and software-designed storage solutions.
Lately the IT sector has seen major investments in infrastructure leading up to around USD 2.7 trillion in the year 2015. However, with an ever increasing amount of data, the CIOs face the challenge of driving out cost and at the same time innovating new strategic business imperatives and applications. Data volumes are continuing to increase while businesses are under pressure to process that data in a timely fashion. In India, over 3100 digitally native start ups are well-placed to address this shift by leveraging SMAC, IoT, automation and other new technologies, to disrupt traditional industries.
Fortunately, flash has reached a point where it is more cost-effective to deploy than high performance hard drives making an all flash offering much more economical for the majority of data centers. The world’s leading companies are moving quickly to modernize their businesses by taking their services online or creating smart devices to participate in the burgeoning “Internet of Things.” Companies are expected to collect 1000x more data than ever before and will be under pressure to analyze that data in real time to seek competitive advantage. These new requirements break traditional infrastructure and pave the way for a new approach.
In addition to committing to all flash arrays for all its future primary storage offerings, EMC will establish all-flash building blocks for Converged Infrastructure offerings and deliver VxRail for use cases including small/midsize data centers and for enterprise departmental and edge environments. It will expand its converged and hyper-converged portfolio, including VCE’s Vblock, VxBlock and VxRack Systems. For high-performance needs, EMC has delivered DSSD D5 for IOPS for data-intensive applications to enable complex, real-time data processing and real-time analytics and insight. The jointly engineered VCE VxRail Appliances will tightly integrate virtualization, compute; storage and data protection in one system with a single point of support.
