EMC will use the RSA Security Conference in San Francisco next week to unveil technologies from its $2.1 billion security acquisition built into its storage systems. Next week’s announcements will be the first of several enhancements EMC is expected to make this month to its high-end Symmetrix and midrange Clariion storage platforms and affiliated software. EMC has not confirmed any of the products, but industry sources and EMC marketing materials acquired by Byte and Switch spell out the moves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
On EMC’s earnings conference call January 23, CEO Joe Tucci said his company was prepping a “robust” product refresh cycle with security integrated into multiple platforms.<\/p>\n
Other announcements will follow, including mainframe disaster recovery software; Symmetrix support for 4-Gbit\/s Fibre Channel and RAID 6; a new entry-level Clarrion CX3 system; and network-based asynchronous replication for Clariion based on technology acquired from Kashya last year.<\/p>\n
While EMC is merely catching up with RAID 6- and 4-Gbit\/s support, at least one of next week’s announcements show the vendor is also beginning to integrate technology from a few of its 2006 acquisitions. The need for RAID 6 is greater with the low-cost Fibre Channel drives EMC offers with Symmetrix because those drives are more apt to fail and take longer to rebuild. The 4-Gbit\/s support lets customers increase the number of hosts they connect to the system, but back-end support to disk remains at 2 Gbit\/s.<\/p>\n
With regard to other high-end systems, IBM supports 4 Gbit\/s on its DS8000 high-end system, and Hitachi Data Systems is planning 4 Gbit\/s for its next TagmaStore release.<\/p>\n
