ISV Network-Attached Storage Specialty

The ISV Network-Attached Storage Specialty of the EMC Velocity² Technology and ISV Program is designed for independent software vendor (ISV) and systems vendor partners with products that are complementary to EMC network-attached storage systems—and want to leverage the power and range of the industry-leading EMC Celerra family of unified storage products.

Partners become members of the Network-Attached Storage Specialty when they commit to integrating their applications with Celerra by licensing one or more application programming interfaces (APIs) or commit to testing and supporting the interoperability of their products with Celerra.

As a partner in the ISV Network-Attached Storage Specialty, you can gain integration or interoperability with Celerra systems, enabling you to:

• Increase the value of your products to our mutual customers.
• Enhance your product functionality over your competition.
• Exploit EMC product functionality and reliability.
• Increase your market opportunity through EMC's worldwide customer base.
• Access EMC software development kits (SDKs) and Celerra Simulator.
• Provide input into EMC network-attached storage development.
• Use the EMC Velocity² Technology and ISV Program logo.
• Access the EMC Powerlink Developers Portal.

Your customers benefit from the ability to:

• Implement solutions quickly so they can focus on core business rather than on testing, validating, and customizing disparate solutions.
• Save time and costs by eliminating the need for "home-grown" development and support.
• Reduce risk and increase efficiency because all integrated solutions are fully tested, jointly supported, and maintained.
• Achieve a scalable, highly available information storage infrastructure.
• Receive better support through a cooperative support agreement between the two companies.
