Although EMC World concluded on the 5th of May, the announcements of cutting edge data center modernization strategies and new infrastructure to transform, automate and revolutionize cloud-based storage are still inspiring the IT market. This was all in honor of EMC declaring 2016 the Year of All Flash for Primary Storage.
If you missed our previous post on this announcement and some of the exciting product launches that came out of EMC World in Las Vegas, you can catch up here.
Cloud-based storage isn’t new, however EMC is modernizing the way in which we traditionally view the data center. “Any modern data center must extend seamlessly to the cloud, which is why we’re making cloud connectivity and cloud tiering an inherent capability of all of our products,” said Jeremy Burton, President, Products and Marketing, EMC Corporation.
Furthermore, customers are presented with a variety of cloud storage providers in EMC’s portfolio giving them flexibility, control and the opportunity to tier-up whenever required.
Customers trust their data, their most precious asset, to EMC and its storage products. It is therefore without a doubt, one of EMC’s strongest goals to innovate and accelerate the journey to cloud computing in a more agile, trusted and cost-efficient way. Which brings us to the launch and updates of these new exciting cloud products from EMC:
- Virtustream Storage Cloud is a global cloud storage platform offering enterprise-levels of resiliency and performance combined with true Web scale. It is built for the world’s largest enterprises, service providers, and public sector organizations that require hyper-scale storage solutions while still incorporating EMC’s signature simplicity and efficacy.
- ViPR® Controller 3.0 storage automation software is designed to bridge traditional and cloud native environments, with support for over 50 EMC and third-party storage products.
