EMC VPLEX
VPLEX Local. VPLEX Metro. VPLEX Geo. 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.
Access Anywhere
With "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.
Options
EMC VPLEX is a hardware and software platform that resides in the SAN, between hosts and storage, and can extend data over distance.
- VPLEX is Distributed, connecting multiple sites together over distance, allowing secure and consistent collaboration across distributed users.
- VPLEX is Dynamic, using 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 is Smart, with unique AccessAnywhere technology that presents data consistently within and between sites, even across distance.
VPLEX delivers distinctive value with the ability to…
- Dynamically move applications and data across different sites within the same data center, across a campus, or over distance.
- Create high-availability infrastructure across these same varied geographies with unmatched resiliency.
- Collaborate efficiently in real time over distance for such “big data” applications as video, geographic/oceanographic research, and more.
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
