EMC Supports New NVM Express Interface Standard:

NVMe is an optimized, high performance, scalable industry-standard host controller interface designed for Enterprise and Client PCIe SSDs. NVMe revolutionizes storage by delivering unprecedented input/output operations per second (IOPS) with lower total cost of ownership. Continuing EMC’s leadership in the latest Flash technology and its commitment to promoting open standards to further advance the industry as a whole, EMC’s “Project Thunder,” a server network attached appliance built entirely of high-speed PCIe Flash and optimized for persistent data stores with performance intensive workloads, will support the NVMe standard.  Project Thunder will build upon the advanced PCIe technology delivered in EMC VFCache ™ and the new NVMe industry standard to take advantage of the power of Flash through a dedicated Server Networked Flash-based appliance.

New Intel Xeon E5-based EMC Technologies: 

• EMC VMAX Service Provider (VMAX SP) – Announced      in May 2012, the VMAX SP platform is purpose-built for service providers,      enabling the rapid and cost-effective purchase and deployment of a storage      infrastructure to power new cloud services. VMAX SP leverages the proven      capabilities of VMAX, the world’s most trusted, powerful and smart      storage. With the industry-leading performance and maximum energy      efficiency delivered by the Intel Xeon E5 processor, VMAX SP delivers      multi-tenanted, powerful, trusted and smart storage to improve operational      efficiency and allow service providers to focus on their core      business—creating new and differentiated services for customers.
• EMC SourceOne eDiscovery – EMC has embedded      Intel’s Xeon E5 processor into Kazeon, EMC’s SourceOne™      eDiscovery platform, to accelerate performance for identifying collecting,      analyzing, and reviewing terabytes of electronically stored      information (ESI) as potential evidence for criminal and civil litigation      proceedings.
