Full Story:
EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) today
announced multiple new modern data center products and services
fundamental to customers' modern data center transformation
initiatives. This transformation is leading to complex data center
priorities: maintaining traditional business applications as
efficiently and in a low-cost manner as possible without
compromising service integrity, and using those savings to support
next-gen application development needs. Each requires different
investments, which largely come from the same (typically flat) IT
budget. The first step toward balancing these conflicted IT
priorities is to modernize the infrastructure on which IT is
built.
Today EMC introduced the new EMC® Unity™ family of all-flash
storage; Virtustream® Storage Cloud platform; EMC MyService360™
service-centric online dashboard, EMC Enterprise Copy Data
Management (eCDM) and ViPR® Controller 3.0.
EMC Executive Quote:
David
Goulden, EMC Information Infrastructure CEO
"The IT
industry is in a state of massive transformation, resulting in both
disruption and great opportunity. Every business leader, across
every industry, is facing the dilemma of how to support and grow
traditional IT infrastructure while modernizing the data center in
order to support the development of new applications and advance
their digital agendas. Some are doing all of this simultaneously.
The products and services announced today will help advance the
customer's journey to build a modern data center in order to thrive
as a digital business."
