VPLEX
Continuous Operations.Mobility. Availability. Dissolve Distance.
Data Mobility
Move applications, virtual machines, and data in and between data centers without impacting users.
Continuous Availability
Deliver application and data availability within the data center and over distance with full infrastructure utilization and zero downtime.
Stretched Clusters
Stretch VMware, Oracle RAC and other industry leading clusters over distance for new levels of availability.
MIGRATIONS
Nondisruptive data migrations that enable risk-free, faster tech refreshes and load balancing.
Scale-Out Cluster Architecture
Start small and grow with predictable service levels on a foundation of scalable, highly available processor engines.
Details
EMC VPLEX delivers data mobility and availability across arrays and sites. VPLEX is a unique virtual storage technology that enables mission critical applications to remain up and running during any of a variety of planned and unplanned downtime scenarios. VPLEX permits painless, nondisruptive data movement, taking technologies like VMware and other clusters that were built assuming a single storage instance and enabling them to function across arrays and across distance.
VPLEX key use cases comprise:
- Continuous operations – VPLEX enables active/active data centers with zero downtime
- Migration/tech refresh – VPLEX provides accelerated and nondisruptive migrations and technology refresh
- VMware functionality – VPLEX extends VMware functionality across distance while enhancing availability
- Oracle RAC functionality – VPLEX extends Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) and other clusters over distance
The EMC VPLEX family includes four models:
