Dell/EMC CX4 Arrays

A Storage Area Network (SAN) delivers shared storage for multiple servers, allowing you to reduce management cost and time and to more easily scale your storage as well as enabling you to utilize additional virtualization functionality.

 

The unique Dell/EMC partnership brings to market enterprise-class storage with a common, high availability architecture and excellent investment protection. Fourth generation, future-ready Dell/EMC CX4 arrays deliver new levels of performance, flexibility, ease-of-use, data management, and resource utilization. The Dell/EMC CX4 family forms the core of a scalable enterprise infrastructure that is easy to deploy, manage, and upgrade. 

 

The CX4 series of storage arrays are ideal for enterprise data centers and those desiring advanced capabilities in their Fibre Channel (FC) networks.  They are also an excellent choice for adding lower cost iSCSI virtualized servers to existing FC infrastructure since they support dual-mode FC and iSCSI connectivity.  They can scale with data-in-place upgrades up to 960 FC, SATA, low-power SATA and solid state (on the CX4-480 and CX4-960) drives.  Easily discover, configure, manage, and monitor all aspects of the array with the Navisphere® Management Suite. The array-based management software permits streamlined, efficient management of one or more CX arrays and is accessible locally or from a remote location over a secure connection.  The CX4’s unique hardware and software capabilities and integration with VMware extends the value of virtualized server environments.
