India announced new prices for its
range of unified storage solutions in response to growing customer
demand for these products. The EMC product range starts from Iomega
ix2 priced just at Rs 19,999, which extends through to CLARiiON and
Celerra range of storage products. All the products except Iomega
come with a 48-month warranty on hardware, which follows the industry
norm. Further, these products are available through 200+ EMC partners
spread across 40 cities throughout India.

EMC's latest pricing comes in
response to customer requirements for optimizing IT infrastructure
and reducing complexity. With EMC's unified storage products, the
client can save on expenses through consolidation and storage tiering
of data. In addition, all EMC products listed are
virtualization-ready, and with virtualization being the CIO's top
priority for 2010 (according to Gartner CIO Survey), EMC expects a
strong market response to these newly priced products.

Further, the products have 8Gbps FC
capacity to offer double the throughputs for higher performance for
customers. EMC is also offering its latest UltraFlexTM technology,
which offers dual-protocol, online-expandable connectivity and is
future proof from a technology standpoint.

Manoj Chugh, President, EMC India and
SAARC said, “Our customers want to invest in information
infrastructure for the future but are still value conscious. Hence,
we are offering our best range of products at prices that may support
their requirement. EMC expects a strong market response to these
products, which will help grow the unified storage market in India.”

“EMC is aiming to provide leading
technology at more affordable prices. With an expanded network of
sales and support presence, we expect to reach out to many
under-penetrated markets”, added Subroto Das, COO, EMC India.
