Want to bring enterprise-class IP storage to specific applications, departments, or locations? With EMC Celerra NS Series/Integrated solutions you get the combined capabilities of NAS and iSCSI consolidation in an integrated package that includes dedicated EMC CLARiiON networked storage. It’s the right choice when you need an all-in-one, high-availability IP storage solution that’s easy to deploy and manage.
- The NS Series/Integrated solution includes advanced functionality at the mid-tier’s best price/performance—along with an easy upgrade path. You also get simple implementation and management—without sacrificing configurability options.
- Choose the entry-level NS350—which includes an integrated EMC CLARiiON back end—for a low-cost path to consolidation in a distributed environment, and single or dual Data Mover configurations.
- Move up to the NS40 for higher performance and capacity, and single or dual X-Blade configurations. For even higher performance and capacity, select the NS80, which also includes the powerful EMC CLARiiON back end and 2 to 4 X-Blades.
With EMC Celerra NS Series/Integrated, you can count on the non-stop file access and data protection your business needs. All systems deliver advanced clustering—so your applications run at the same high performance levels, even if there’s been a failure. Keep availability high with: transparent, dynamic failover to a hot standby X-Blade, hardware RAID protection, non-disruptive component replacement, storage processor battery backup, and advanced volume management.
The NS series is certified by Microsoft under Microsoft’s Designed for Windows program. Use the iSCSI capabilities to consolidate your Exchange and SQL data. With the NS Series, you can consolidate data in a single system that serves as high-performance database and file system storage, second-tier storage for less frequently accessed data—as well as backup storage.
Achieve the best possible results from your IP storage solution with a comprehensive suite of built-in, industry-leading software capabilities—all designed to be simple to use:
- Simplify administrative tasks. With EMC Celerra Manager, you get a single intuitive Web interface that simplifies how you monitor and manage your IP storage environment. iSCSI wizards streamline consolidation. Enhanced status monitoring gives you at-a-glance alert status for multiple systems. And predictive monitoring uses historical data to help you estimate how soon you’ll fill filesystem capacity.
- Protect your information. EMC Celerra SnapSure creates read-only, point-in-time logical views of your production file system. Snap and restore both individual files and filesystems for simple backup and quick recovery of deleted files—while saving disk space and time.
- Optimize your environment for specific workloads. Take the complexity out of provisioning with EMC Celerra Automated Volume Management software, which delivers one-click volume and filesystem configuration. You get one logical view of multiple filesystems for a clear picture of your entire environment. Benefit from transparent storage tiering, virtual provisioning, and enterprise consolidation—while reducing complexity and management.
