Key points on these EMC VMAX 400GB SSD/EFD 6Gbps SAS 3.5in MLC Drives:-

EMC Symmetrix VMAX Systems:-

:: EMC Symmetrix VMAX systems are designed to handle large-scale storage environments by providing a comprehensive range of tiering options. These systems are built to accommodate the growing demands for larger capacities and higher performance while integrating the latest technologies.

Key Features of VMAX Architecture:-

:: High-End Storage Subsystem: Offers a multi-dimensional architecture that scales beyond a single system footprint.
:: Supported Drive Types: Includes Enterprise Flash, Fibre Channel, SAS, and SATA drives. Note that while the physical drive carriers are 3.5in, SAS drives are 2.5in for enhanced efficiency.
:: Storage Tiers: VMAX systems utilize three basic storage tiers:
:: EMC Flash Drives: For ultra-high performance.
:: Fibre Channel Drives: For high performance.
:: SATA II 7200 RPM Drives: For high capacity.

Flash Storage:-

:: Performance and Cost: Flash storage provides the highest performance and cost per Gigabyte, supporting up to 2,400 Enterprise Flash drives per VMAX system.
:: I/O Channels: All Flash drives feature two independent I/O channels with automatic failover and fault isolation.

Applications:-

:: Versatility: Suitable for a range of applications in both open systems and mainframe computing environments.
:: Scalability: The VMAX system can scale from a single-engine setup with one storage bay to a large eight-engine system with up to ten storage bays, each containing 15-25 drives in sixteen disk array enclosures (DAEs).

Best-Usage Applications for the 400GB SSDs (005050442):-

:: Virtualization: Optimizes performance in virtualized environments.
:: Tiered Storage: Enhances performance and efficiency through tiered storage strategies.
:: Automated Channel Failover: Ensures maximum availability and load-balancing.
:: Performance Bottlenecks: Helps avoid bottlenecks and achieves high data security levels.

Benefits of EMC VMAX Enterprise Flash Drives:-

:: Performance: Ideal for applications with drive-intensive activity requiring rapid data storage and retrieval. Flash drives offer improved response times for read-miss activity, benefiting mixed workload environments.
:: Applications:-
:: OLTP (Online Transaction Processing)
:: Oracle and DB2 Databases
:: Microsoft Exchange Collaboration Server
:: SAP R/3
:: Speed and Efficiency: VMAX systems with Flash drives can deliver single-millisecond response times and up to 30 times more IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) compared to traditional 15,000 RPM Fibre Channel drives.
:: Energy Efficiency: Flash drives require up to 98% less energy per IOPS compared to traditional disk drives.

Reliability and Longevity:-

:: NAND Flash Technology: Enhanced with static and dynamic wear leveling, bad block remapping, and multi-bit error correction.
:: Durability: Flash drives have no moving parts, providing a longer life expectancy than traditional hard disk drives. They are validated for environmental, manufacturing, quality, performance, and reliability standards.
:: Monitoring and Support: Guaranteed and monitored by Enginuity for operational status, with a life expectancy of over five years.
