VPLEX
Dissolve Distance. Mobility. Availability. Collaboration.
Mobility
Move applications, virtual machines, and data in and between data centers without impacting users.
Availability
Bulletproof your application availability and get non-stop data access by mirroring data across locations.
Collaboration
Access data across multiple data centers simultaneously. Deliver instant data access to support remote users in real time.
FEDERATED ACCESSANYWHERE
With Federated AccessAnywhere cache coherency technology, enjoy a consistent view of data that is presented, shared, accessed, or relocated between VPLEX clusters.
Scale-Out Cluster Architecture
Start small and grow with predictable service levels on a foundation of scalable, highly available processor engines.

EMC VPLEX with GeoSynchrony 5.1 is a unique virtual storage technology that enables information in the public, private, or hybrid cloud to be shared, accessed, and moved within, across, and between data centers, federating various storage systems into a single resource. Customers can achieve transparent workload mobility and availability, both locally and over distance, through VPLEX's simultaneous access to storage systems at geographically separate sites.
VPLEX is a hardware and software platform that resides in the SAN, between hosts and storage, and extends data over distance.
- VPLEX dissolves the distance between sites, allowing secure and consistent collaboration across distributed users.
- VPLEX uses a single interface for multi-vendor storage.
- VPLEX delivers dynamic data mobility, the ability to move applications and data in real-time, with no outage required.
- VPLEX provides Federated AccessAnywhere technology that presents data consistently within and between sites, even across distance.
- VPLEX creates a high-availability infrastructure across these same varied geographies with unmatched resiliency.
- RecoverPoint native splitter technology for VPLEX Local and VPLEX Metro combines the benefits of both high availability and disaster recovery in the same deployment.
- Unisphere for VPLEX uses the same GUI framework as the VNX and VMAX platform, providing a way to simplify, normalize, and consolidate EMC's management tools.
The VPLEX family includes three models:
- EMC VPLEX Local—provides seamless data mobility and high availability within a data center. It also allows you to manage multiple heterogeneous arrays from a single interface. Download the spec sheet
- EMC VPLEX Metro—provides data mobility, enhanced high availability and collaboration between two sites within synchronous distances. Download the spec sheet
- EMC VPLEX Geo—provides data mobility, high availability, and collaboration between two sites within asynchronous distances. Download the spec sheet
