What if we could look into the future of workload-behaviour during storage-tiering to better predict performance and capacity needs? FAST Hinting is the answer. A fantastic new feature that makes the VMAX3 even more efficient!
Not just FAST hinting. VMAX3 has a workload planning service (built-in) that can understand the workload pattern and forecast how much headroom is left based on both capacity and performance.
Guy, Apples-Oranges. VMAX is enterprise architecture, RAS, resiliency and best in class with the ability to hyperconsolidate mixed workload environment with multiple data services running. It's not just speeds & feeds.
@BGallagher32 I agree but the competition throws that FUD on speeds and feeds. As @stevie_chambers points out in other thread; mixed workload of hybrid require certain tech/flexibility cross mgt etc..
FUD from dual-controller AFAs that degrade performance under heavy load is hardly a threat. VMAX and XtremIO both offer better availability with consistent, predictable performance.
@EMCCorp is leading in Flash and our strategy is Flash Everywhere - from server to network to storage. XIO, DSSD, VMAX, VNX, Isilon - leaders in Flash and more to come...
As a Microsoft cloud guy I see, feel and hear enormous demand for hybrid cloud storage, like FAST but with an Azure backend... is it possible to get VMAX3 to consume Azure on the back end?
@furrier absolutely, John, as you know hybrid cloud means cross-management, ID, storage, network, app mobility and everything else on the long list. I wonder how VMAX3 fits into my GTM and customer needs
@vGazza hey buddy, iSCSI is awesome for a lot of people! :) FC is also a PITA for everyone else. Just because we always did it that way, doesn't make it right. Change is among us! :)
