EMC VMAX3 FAMILY - VMAX 100K, 200K, 400K
The newest additions to the EMC® VMAX® family deliver the latest in Tier-1 scale-out multi-controller architecture with consolidation and efficiency for the enterprise. With completely redesigned hardware and software, the new VMAX 100K, 200K, and 400K arrays provide unprecedented performance and scale. Ranging from the single or dual engine VMAX 100K up to the 8-engine VMAX 400K, these new arrays offer dramatic increases in floor tile density with engines and high capacity disk enclosures for both 2.5" and 3.5" drives consolidated in the same system bay. In addition, VMAX 100K, 200K, and 400K can be configured as either hybrid or all flash configurations.
This revolutionary new VMAX3 architecture delivers Virtual Matrix Bandwidth of 175GB/s per engine and up to 1400GB/s across an eight engine VMAX3 array. All new VMAX3 models come fully pre-configured out of the factory to significantly shorten the time to first I/O during installation.
Specifications
UNMATCHED ARCHITECTURE
The Dynamic Virtual Matrix Architecture enables IT departments to build storage systems that transcend the physical constraint of competing array architectures. The architecture allows scaling of system resources through common and fully redundant building blocks called VMAX engines. VMAX engines provide the complete foundation for high-availability storage arrays. Each engine contains two VMAX directors and redundant interfaces to the new Dynamic Virtual Matrix dual InfiniBand® fabric interconnect. Each director consolidates front-end, global memory, and back-end functions, enabling direct memory access to data for optimized I/O operations. Depending on the array chosen, up to 8 VMAX engines can be interconnected via a set of active fabrics that provide scalable performance and high availability.
The new VMAX arrays support the use of native 6Gb/s SAS 2.5” drives, 3.5” drives, or a mix of both drive types in the array. Individual system bays can house either one or two engines and up to the per engine maximum of 6 High Density Disk Array Enclosures (DAEs) available in either 3.5” (60 slot) or 2.5" (120 slot) formats. As a result, each system bay can support up 720 2.5" drives or up to 360 3.5" drives, or a mix of the
two. In addition, all new arrays support subsequent system bay dispersion of up to 25 meters from the first system bay. All new members of the family also support 3rd party racking. Detailed specifications and a comparison of the three new VMAX3 arrays follow.
