"EMC vastly expands system's storage capacity; Major upgrade for Symmetrix" by Hiawatha Bray, Globe Staff | April 14, 2009
EMC Corp. of Hopkinton is unveiling a major upgrade to its flagship Symmetrix data storage machines that will massively expand the amount of information customers can store and manage....
It's also a reflection of EMC's commitment to virtualization, a technology that allows multiple server computers or data storage systems to be managed as if they were one machine. VMware, a California company in which EMC owns a majority stake, is the leading provider of software for virtualizing servers. EMC's new technology is supposed to deliver the same flexibility to data storage systems, allowing large businesses or government agencies to add vast amounts of new storage as needed....
FOR WHAT and WHY?
In addition, the new system will support three storage technologies: flash memory chips for extremely fast data access, Fibre Channel high-speed mechanical hard drives, and slower hard drives similar to those found in desktop computers. Data are automatically routed to the most cost-efficient kind of storage. Information that is used frequently is kept on flash drives, while less vital data are stored on the slower mechanical hard drives. "I think this is going to speed the movement to more flash memory technology and greater usage," said Donatelli.
Translation: They KEEP EVERYTHING!!!
The new Symmetrix V-Max storage system goes on sale today, starting at $250,000 for a basic version. It was designed by EMC workers in Massachusetts and will be built here, where EMC employs about 9,000.
Yikes! Fascism is expensive!
