EMC Corporation(NYSE:EMC) has announced the EMC Xtrem Family of Flash-optimized server and storage products and introduced a new line of EMC Xtrem SF PCIe-based Flash cards that dramatically accelerate application performance. With the addition of XtremSF, EMC continues delivering the industry’s only best-of-breed portfolio of Flash products.

XtremSF is server Flash hardware, available in a broad set of eMLC and SLC capacities. It can be deployed as either direct attached storage (DAS) that sits within the server to deliver high performance – or it can be deployed in combination with EMC XtremSW Cache (formerly EMC VFCache) server caching software to turbocharge network storage array performance while maintaining the level of protection required by mission-critical application environments.

XtremSF joins EMC’s growing portfolio of extreme-performance Flash products, which include Flash optimized hybrid storage arrays – EMC Isilon, EMC VMAX and EMC VNX, as well as the EMC XtremIO (formerly Project X) all-Flash scale-out enterprise storage array.

XtremSF 550 GB and 2.2 TB eMLC capacities are currently available globally. EMC expects to make 700 GB and 1.4 TB capacities available on EMC price-lists in the second quarter of 2013. EMC will extend the XtremSF family with even higher capacity offerings in the future.
