EMC Corporation announced the immediate availability of a broad range of products and solutions designed to seamlessly connect primary storage and data protection systems to private and public clouds. As a result, organizations will be better equipped to take advantage of both the agility and unlimited scalability of public cloud services and the control and security of a private cloud infrastructure.
As IT departments rush to keep pace with the demands of the rapidly changing business, they often rely on both the private cloud – because it is trusted, controlled and reliable – and the public cloud – because of its low cost and near limitless capacity. Cloud-enabled storage and data protection solutions, like those being announced by EMC today, empower customers to deploy a trusted storage environment where data can be automatically tiered to both public and private clouds.
New Products and Solutions Delivering Cloud Integration Across the Data Center:
EMC is integrating new and expanded cloud capabilities across its entire storage and data protection portfolio including solutions to store and protect data to, from and within the cloud.
Price-sensitive customers are able to achieve similar functionality on a smaller scale by substituting VNX for VMAX in their infrastructure configuration and adding EMC VPLEX®. VPLEX cloud tiering extends intelligent data mobility services to the cloud, enabling VNX to non-disruptively tier data in and out of public and private clouds.
Both VMAX – with new integrated cloud tiering – and VNX– leveraging new cloud tiering – now offer expanded support for private and public cloud providers. EMC now supports VMware vCloud Air, Microsoft Azure, Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Platform – all while delivering the performance and peace of mind that customers expect from enterprise storage.
• Protecting Data to/from the Cloud – CloudBoost 2.0 seamlessly extends customers’ existing EMC data protection solutions, including the Data Protection Suite and Data Domain, to elastic, resilient, scale-out cloud storage, enabling customers to leverage the economic benefits of the public cloud for long-term data retention.

CloudBoost offers 3x faster throughput and 15x more data capacity than previous versions. Furthermore, CloudBoost enables deduplication and incremental restores simultaneously, without the need for complex cloud compute infrastructure.
• Protecting Data in the Cloud - Spanning by EMC now features enhanced restore and security capabilities along with new regional deployment within the European Union.
