EMC debuts new ViPR Software-Defined Storage Platform
VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE
EMC has introduced EMC ViPR, the Software-Defined Storage platform at EMC World 2013. By using EMC ViPR to manage storage infrastructure and the data residing within that infrastructure, organizations can drive improvements in automation and lay down modern storage architecture for future application deployments. Using EMC ViPR, service providers and IT departments can work towards the operational model of web-scale data centers without hiring thousands of technical experts to build a custom environment.
EMC ViPR manages both storage infrastructure (called the Control Plane) and the data stored within that infrastructure (called the Data Plane). It decouples the Control Plane from the Data Plane, allowing the customers to use only the Control Plane to manage the underlying intelligence of the storage arrays through policy-based automation. This is a radical departure from prior attempts to virtualize storage.
Amitabh Srivastava, President, Advanced Software Division, EMC said, "Building the web-scale data center is critical for service providers and large enterprises. The rise of the Software-Defined Data Center is a groundbreaking step toward delivering the management and performance capabilities needed to protect and leverage data. Only by separating the data center from its underlying hardware can IT truly deliver resources as customizable, on-demand services. As the only solution on the market today, ViPR is able to support IT services in a heterogeneous storage environment while retaining and extending the value of underlying arrays. This is a game-changer for storage.......See More
