Flash Forward to the Future In a Millisecond
EMC Symmetrix high-end storage, now with Flash drive technology, delivers up to 10x faster response times for your most demanding applications.
First. Fast. Feature-Rich.
EMC builds upon its tradition of innovation with a flash into the future. Introducing Symmetrix high-end storage with customized Flash drive technology—providing up to 30x boost over today's fastest drives to deliver ultra-high performance.
The Speed of Flash
Symmetrix emerges as the first and only enterprise storage system with integrated Flash drives. This innovation defines a new tier of storage—tier 0—for ultra-high performance requirements.
Symmetrix with Flash drives delivers unprecedented response times that far surpass the highest performing drive on the market today. This breakthrough technology from EMC achieves the industry's highest IOPS and lowest latency—accelerating response times up to 10x for your demanding OLTP applications.
Flash + Symmetrix + EMC = A Powerful Combination
Symmetrix high-end storage, now featuring Flash drives, breaks the performance barrier associated with traditional disk drives. The combination of Flash technology and Symmetrix tiered storage software ensures that you not only have incredible power within the array, but can leverage that power to your advantage.
Optimize utilization and simplify management and allocation of your tiered storage with EMC's Virtual Provisioning. And, dial in the right levels of performance to meet your application service-level requirements with key capabilities such as QoS management and mobility tools.
Energy-Efficient Tiering In a Flash
Symmetrix high-end storage offers the most energy efficient data center solutions for today's IT requirements. With the addition of Flash drives, Symmetrix raises the industry standard for tiering options, enabling you to achieve new levels of energy efficiency.
Flash drives use 97.7 percent less energy per IOP than 15k RPM FC drives. And, 1 TB SATA-II disks use 94 percent less energy per TB than 10k RPM FC drives. Only EMC provides both Flash drives for performance and SATA disks for capacity and cost requirements in a single high-end array—along with tools that enable you to move data non-disruptively to the most efficient tier.
