Corporation has rolled out the new
EMC Celerra unified storage system software to address the
information management complexities in virtual environments. It is
built upon EMC's broad portfolio of mid-range storage systems and
software designed specifically for VMware infrastructure
environments.

“EMC continues to invest and develop
advanced features and functionality to simplify the management of
both physical and virtual infrastructures. Our innovations contribute
to EMC Celerra's position as a market leader, with its 11th
consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth in the fourth
quarter of 2009. Today EMC extends its position as the leading
storage infrastructure provider with software for the industry's
fastest growing unified storage solution tailored for href="http://www.dqweek.com/Ganesh-Mahabala-quits-VMware">VMware
environments,” said Mark Sorenson, Senior VP-Unified Storage
Division, EMC.

Additionally, EMC is extending its
failover and failback capabilities to NFS environments with EMC
Failback Plug-In for VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager software.
The integration with VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager helps
ensure rapid, reliable, manageable and affordable business continuity
in VMware environments. Extending automation of failover and failback
capabilities to NFS deployments with EMC Failback Plug-In for VMware
vCenter Site Recovery Manager mitigates risks and maximizes existing
IT investments for affordable business continuity.

“Customers choose VMware to reduce
capital and operating expenses, improve agility, and ensure business
continuity-paving the way for customers on the journey to cloud
computing,” said Hatem Naguib, VP-Alliances, Vmware. Naguib
added, “These new capabilities from EMC greatly increase the
ease-of-use and resource optimization for mutual customers,
integrating with VMware vSphere through common deployment interfaces.
Now VMware administrators have enhanced control to reduce storage
consumption, maintain service levels for performance-sensitive
applications, and simplify storage management and data recovery
tasks.”
