With Celerra NS-960, you can connect to multiple storage networks via network-attached storage (NAS), iSCSI, Fibre Channel storage area network (SAN), and EMC Celerra Multi-Path File System (MPFS). MPFS improves performance over traditional NAS.
Move beyond direct-attached storage with an integrated EMC CLARiiON CX4 that scales up to 960 disks. Simplify your common administrative tasks with EMC Unisphere for greater efficiency with file system deduplication, FAST Cache, virtual provisioning, and automated volume management.
