Overview:
The EMC Unity™ Hybrid product line sets new standards for storage with compelling simplicity, modern design, flexible deployments, and affordable prices- to meet the needs of resource-constrained IT professionals in large or small companies.
If you are looking for rich features with absolute simplicity in a small footprint, if you are cost-conscious and need the best from the best, EMC Unity Hybrid is for you. Designed for flash with rich data services, Unity Hybrid delivers flash performance with the cost advantage of disk and is the perfect fit for your mixed applications, unified storage and Remote-Office-Branch-Office (ROBO) requirements.
IT professionals are struggling with the ever-changing demands of their jobs - including storage management. They are experiencing data growth like never before and IT budgets are under extreme pressure. This is especially evident in the midmarket, where IT professionals are wearing many hats and becoming generalists - handling servers, networking, mobile devices, desktops, virtualization, and storage - so they are spread extremely thin. These days, IT generalists need simple, modern, affordable, and flexible storage technology to simplify and automate.
- Simple: Data growth is increasing but the IT department is not - therefore you need storage technology that automates many tasks and helps get the job done. You cannot spend time becoming a storage expert or reading a manual - it must be intuitive and simple to use.
- Modern: You need the latest technology so that you have the power to manage the latest workloads. 2016 is the year for flash, including midrange systems. So all systems must be designed with flash in mind and leverage the latest data management and mobility technologies - you don't want to get left behind.
- Flexible: Storage solutions should be flexible enough to be repurposed for a variety of different workloads - block, file, databases, virtual environments or even as a backup target. Storage should come in a variety of deployment models from purpose-built all-flash or hybrid configurations to converged infrastructure and even virtual storage appliances.
- Affordable: Storage systems must be affordable to purchase and deliver the best total cost of ownership throughout the life of the system. And it should be cost-effective to run all your workloads on these systems.
Take on a wide range of workloads with an EMC Unity 400 hybrid flash storage array. Unity sets a new standard for midrange storage: simple, modern, affordable, and flexible. Unity 400 primary storage is a great match for remote office, branch office (ROBO) and midmarket environments. SAN and NAS.
Architected for flash with rich data services, EMC Unity 400 unified storage is part of the Unity Hybrid storage series. Dense flash technology helps deliver outstanding TCO in a footprint as small as 2U. Automated tiering and flash caching ensure active data benefits from flash performance.
Unity keeps things simple with point-in-time snapshots, local and remote data replication, built-in encryption, and deep integration with VMware, Microsoft, and OpenStack.
Save time and money through the lifecycle of your EMC Unity 400 array. A slick HTML5 interface and cloud-enabled management dashboard simplify operation. Proactive assistance is at your fingertips with EMC's automated remote support.
