Unleashes storage efficiency and helps guarantee knowledge availability to keep up stringent SLAs
Enables consolidation of numerous workloads with predictable low latency end-to-end
Simplifies and unifies administration throughout Fibre Channel and IP storage
Brocade (NASDAQ: BRCD) at the moment introduced its Fibre Channel and IP-based storage networking applied sciences shall be deployed by EMC as a key element for buyer options primarily based on the brand new EMC XtremIOâ„¢ 4.0 all-flash storage arrays that have been introduced at the moment at EMC World.
Brocade storage community switches, together with associated storage administration software program, are branded and bought by EMC as a part of the EMC Connectrix household.
Deployment of all-flash arrays has skilled exponential progress, as enterprises transfer to managing each mission-critical and business-critical purposes in consolidated, extremely virtualized environments. According to Gartner, “By 2019, 50 percent of traditional general-purpose storage arrays used for low-latency, high-performance workloads will be replaced by SSAs [solid-state arrays].”1
XtremIO 4.0 is a non-disruptive free software program improve for XtremIO v3.X arrays, which have turn into the business’s top-selling all-flash storage, in accordance with IDC2. The software program improve will allow petabyte-scale configurations, on-demand non-disruptive cluster enlargement, native replication, and as much as 33 p.c extra efficiency to assist enterprises ship higher help for hybrid-cloud and private-cloud storage companies, with scale-out storage consolidation throughout all workloads.
With XtremIO 4.0, prospects can remodel their knowledge facilities by leveraging the distinctive mixture of workload acceleration, consolidation, and agility to allow true consolidation of a number of blended Tier 1 and Tier 2 workloads. To understand this new performance, the storage community performs a significant position in enabling extremely dependable, quick throughput for purposes resembling real-time analytics, database lifecycle acceleration, SAP panorama consolidation, non-public/hybrid clouds, enterprise-wide VDI, messaging, collaboration, and future-proofed Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) for healthcare.
“Legacy storage networks weren’t designed for all-flash arrays and can create bottlenecks that will not maximize the full capabilities of the XtremIO 4.0 storage,” mentioned Jack Rondoni, vp, storage networking, at Brocade. “Brocade storage fabrics perfectly complement XtremIO storage by unleashing the performance and availability required to address stringent SLAs for critical Fibre Channel and IP storage workloads.”
Brocade storage networking applied sciences present a resilient, agile, and simply deployed basis between servers and XtremIO storage that eliminates bottlenecks for high-transaction, blended workloads for all-flash arrays.
“EMC Connectrix Gen 5 Fibre Channel and IP storage networking solutions, based on Brocade storage fabric technologies, have become a bedrock for XtremIO customers for better enabling the new wave of consolidated database, analytics, private/hybrid cloud, VDI, and business application workloads,” mentioned Josh Goldstein, Vice President, Marketing and Product Management, XtremIO, EMC Corporation. “This allows us to meet our customers’ new network requirements for availability, agility, scalability, quality of service, ease-of-deployment. and end-to-end management and monitoring.”
