Joe Szeremet, Solutions Consultant, EMC Corporation

CLARiiON CX4 networked storage delivers more advanced technologies than any other midrange system—at the lowest cost of ownership. CX4’s next-generation architecture lowers costs and energy use through innovative technologies like flash drives, unique UltraFlex™ technology, and virtual provisioning.  CX4 systems also offer comprehensive support for virtualized environments, with expandable Fibre Channel and iSCSI connectivity and advanced data protection. And, they’re built on CLARiiON’s proven 99.999 percent availability.

With industry leading green technology the cost of owning and operating your storage has never been lower with features like these:

• Flash drives—Get 98 percent better efficiency per I/O than with 15K FC disks, and 30 times the performance.
  
• Low-power SATA drives—Use 32 percent less energy than traditional SATA disks.
  
• Policy-based disk spin down—Automatically place inactive drives in sleep mode; activate on-demand to meet application requirements.
  
• Adaptive cooling—Dynamically adjust cooling based on system activity.

The future is here today with EMC's CX4 family of storage arrays.  Supporting all of your mission critical needs at the lowest cost possible.
