Flash Storage Newsflash!

From mobile devices to enterprise-class storage arrays, flash storage is now part of the hybrid cloud infrastructure that secures the data your applications – and business – depend on every day.

And as flash continues to make its mark on the data storage world, we’re extending our partnerships in ways that bring the value of flash storage into the ClearPath Forward™ environment. That’s why we’re once again drawing on our long-standing relationship with Dell EMC to test, qualify, deliver, and support flash storage solutions that address new requirements while continuing to provide the reliability and availability your infrastructure demands.

To that end, we’re happy to announce that we’ve recently qualified the Dell EMC VMAX® All Flash 250, 450, and 850 storage systems with the ClearPath® MCP and OS 2200 environments.

The VMAX All Flash storage systems are built to embrace the modern data center and hybrid cloud, and leverage the latest, high-density flash technology to provide a rich set of data services that can help you simplify, automate, and consolidate your IT operations.

The systems easily manage high-demand, transaction-intensive workloads while delivering consistent, sub-millisecond response times. Built for scalability, the VMAX All Flash systems use advanced multi-core, multi-threading algorithms and a flash-optimized design to meet strict SLAs.

With the help of these systems, you can:

• Consolidate ClearPath Forward platforms, open systems, and block and file data
• Simplify planning and deployment with packaging designed for scale-up and scale-out flexibility

In addition, we’ve also qualified the Dell EMC Unity™ storage family with ClearPath Forward Libra systems, with Dorado systems soon to follow. The Unity family is available in all-flash or hybrid models, ranging from the entry-level Model 300 to the 10-petabyte Model 600.

Whichever model you choose, you’ll benefit from point-in-time snapshots, local and remote data replication, and built-in encryption. And you’ll be able to manage your Unity storage array through a sleek HTML5 interface and management dashboard.

These products join a growing list of storage solutions, including Dell EMC VNX2 and VMAX 3 hybrid systems, virtual tape libraries, and traditional tape libraries, we’ve qualified with ClearPath Forward Libra and Dorado systems.
