EMC CLARiiON CX3 UltraScale series is a mid-range storage platform that delivers industry-leading application
performance plus high levels of scalability, reliability, and ease of use. Its unique combination of a
break-through hardware design and advanced software capabilities enables EMC CLARiiON CX3 to meet the growing
IT challenges of today's mid-size and large enterprises-scaling system capacity and performance, simplifying
management in complex environments, and delivering increasing levels of information availability and protection
for critical applications and data.
The powerful EMC CX3 UltraScale series delivers advanced storage capabilities not found in other midrange
storage systems. These capabilities include simple management tools, safeguards to ensure continuous data
availability and integrity, industry-leading price-performance, data mobility within and between systems,
and scalability between multiple tiers of storage. All this is available in your choice of systems ranging
from affordable starter solutions to high-performance maximum-capacity configurations for your most demanding
requirements.
UltraScale Architecture - Breakthrough Architecture and Innovation.
This third generation of EMC CLARiiON CX storage is based on EMC's innovative and break-through UltraScale architecture.
UltraScale is the only mid-range storage architecture capable of delivering maximum throughput and performance for a wide
variety of business applications. With state-of-the-art I/O interconnect, based on native PCI Express technology,
UltraScale delivers high-bandwidth, low-latency characteristics that enable the EMC CLARiiON CX3 UltraScale series to
deliver the industry's only full 4 Gb/s capabilities throughout the entire system.
Other key features include:
- Three models to choose from: EMC CLARiiON CX3 Model 20, CX3 Model 40, and CX3 Model 80. All models offer capacity
and connectivity options tailored to your needs.
- CLARiiON CX3-20 and CX3-40 systems provide simultaneous fibre channel and iSCSI support within the same array -
enabling users to leverage their networked storage investments over a broader range of servers and applications with
complete flexibility, and without additional hardware.
- Flexibility to mix a combination of high performance fibre channel drives and low-cost/ high-capacity drives in
the same system for tiered storage consolidation.
- Superior protection with continuous availability and data integrity features such as fault detection and isolation,
redundant components and data paths, non-disruptive field replacement, NEBS certified, write cache, and battery backup.
- Flexible connectivity options and configurations including Direct-Attached Storage (DAS), Fiber Channel (FC)/ iSCSI,
Storage Area Network (SAN), and Network Attached Storage (NAS) deployment.
- Advanced UltraPointTM Technology for reliable deployments of 4Gb/s disk drive technologies - from high capacity 7.2
RPM disk drives to high performance 4Gb/s 15K RPM disk drives.
- Support for 1, 2, and 4Gb/s SAN/ host connectivity with auto-negotiation to simplify deployments in existing SAN.
- Advanced functionality such as the EMC CLARiiON metaLUN and Virtual Unit Number (VLUN) technologies to increase
performance capabilities and enable non-disruptive movement of data within the system. Also, for data mobility across
arrays, EMC SAN Copy delivers superior heterogeneous data replication
- Unique, cost effective, and simple upgrade path to larger EMC CX3 UltraScale series systems, including cross-generational
software support, data in place upgrades, tiered storage, and flexible support options.
- Ease of use features such as self-installations and service, wizard based tools and a single management interface
with the EMC Navisphere Management Suite.
The CX3 UltraScale series delivers industry-leading application performance, new levels of scalability and reliability,
and ease-of-use capabilities. With immediate support for the full suite of EMC CLARiiON advanced software functionality,
customers can easily manage and protect their data while meeting required service levels.
