Full Story:
EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) today announced new updates to its EMC
ViPR® Controller storage automation software, designed to help
customers modernize their multivendor storage environments, with
support for over 50 EMC and third-party storage platforms. The
latest Software Defined Storage release is designed to enable
customers to drive greater levels of efficiency by reducing manual
tasks by up to 73%, helping mitigate risks and freeing-up
resources. ViPR Controller effectively bridges traditional and
cloud native environments, providing ease of use, time savings and
reduced OPEX.
Since ViPR Controller's launch in 2013, enterprises have
deployed it to centralize and transform the management of
multivendor storage into a single platform. ViPR Controller offers
"single pane of glass" dashboard views for abstracting and pooling
EMC and third-party storage resources in a customer's environment.
New features in this version are designed to enable customers to
improve the overall effectiveness and efficiency in managing their
data centers, with a 63% average reduction in time to provision
storage.
Updates include:
- Application-Centric Workflows that help reduce errors and
improve time-to-market by enabling management of application
resources without the need to understand the underlying storage
solutions being used.
- The new Southbound Software Development Kit (SDK), a result of
open-source based community innovation from the CoprHD™ Project,
enables organizations to add ViPR Controller support for any
storage system. This provides the ultimate flexibility to
customers, as well as third-party storage vendors that want to add
to the more than 50 storage platforms already supported by ViPR
Controller.
- New native disaster recovery features enable customers to
eliminate single points of failure to ensure SLAs are met, offering
two backup sites in case of disaster and ensuring high
availability.
Availability
ViPR Controller will be generally
available in the second quarter of 2016. Customers can also
download a "Free and Frictionless" trial edition of ViPR
Controller. For more information, visit: ViPR download page or the
CoprHD Project.
Analyst Quote:
Ashish Nadkarni, Research
Director, IDC
"Enterprises today are concerned about maximizing their
2nd Platform investments while beginning the move to the
3rd Platform—the crux of modernizing the data center.
The ability to increase efficiency, reduce error and capture
elusive OPEX benefits with storage automation is a big step toward
what the data center needs to become in the growing world of cloud,
mobile and IoT."
EMC Executive Quote:
Manuvir Das, Senior Vice President, Advanced Software, Emerging
Technology Division, EMC Corporation
"With ViPR Controller, EMC has paved the way for unifying
multivendor environments. These new features enhance some of the
product's hallmarks—simplicity, extensibility and
enterprise-class—in order to reduce costs and human error while
addressing scale and agility. As always with ViPR Controller, we're
innovating to address customer needs today and tomorrow, in any
storage environment."
