EMC Celerra NSX is the industry’s most powerful, scalable IP storage gateway—and the right choice when you need to lower your costs, simplify your operation, and manage growth.
With Celerra NSX, you can create an extremely efficient, scalable gateway-to-SAN solution connected to EMC Symmetrix DMX and/or EMC CLARiiON networked storage systems. You’ll benefit from exceptional performance—fueled by powerful EMC UltraScale technology. Consolidate storage from multiple applications and hundreds of file servers—all on one platform that’s easy to configure, manage, and use. And at the right price to fit your needs.
Achieve new levels of scalability and performance with an innovative architecture based on X-Blade server technology—an EMC-designed and built, Intel-based blade server platform. Scale from approximately 135,000 to more than 300,000 NFS operations per second. Choose from 4 to 8 clustered X-Blades, increasing your usable capacity to up to 168 terabytes. Expand on the fly by adding additional X-Blades—without operational delays or disruption. Access files up to 4x faster than standard NAS with EMC-patented Multi-path File System (MPFSi)—without the need to recode applications.
With Celerra NSX you get non-stop file access and data protection via advanced N+1 clustering. Dual power and dual control stations with redundant Ethernet connections—plus a dual-managed UPS (uninterruptible power supply—ensure availability, reliability, and serviceability.
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 Celerra NSX, 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 rapid 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.
- Integrate leading ILM capabilities. Advance your information lifecycle management (ILM) strategy with additional EMC solutions. Turn to EMC Smarts advanced network management solutions for real-time root cause analysis. Automate file movement to clients and applications with EMC Celerra FileMover, which delivers dynamic file mobility—quickly and transparently. And for compliance and governance requirements, EMC Centera FileArchiver brings you EMC Centera archive capabilities—including single-instance storage, transparent file archiving, and retrieval. Keep your enterprise safe and secure at all times with advanced security features—including anti-virus protection/notification, LDAP authentication, and file-level retention capabilities.
As always, you can maximize your IP storage investment with EMC’s top-rated service and support.
