EMC CLARiiON CX3 series provides the highest availability for
virtualized IT environments
EMC designed an entirely new midrange architecture—UltraScale™—to deliver the highest
levels of availability in affordable, scalable, and easy-to-use systems that meet the needs
for dynamic VMware®
environments/deployments. The EMC®
CLARiiON®
CX3 UltraScale
architecture incorporates EMC UltraPoint™ technology for back-end functionality to provide
better isolation of error conditions while reducing the loop latency of the FC protocol, thereby
increasing the performance of the system. In addition, the EMC CLARiiON CX3 series is
designed with redundant power/cooling capabilities and features improved fault detection,
isolation, and error-correction functions. The CLARiiON CX3 series also features hot-spar-
ing to proactively copy data to a spare disk when the system senses a drive is beginning
to fail. This reduces drive rebuild times and increases the availability of the array. EMC
designed the industry’s first 99.999 percent available midrange storage array because
the availability of your virtual machines is only as good as the storage their data ultimately
resides on. This is one of the many reasons why more customers choose EMC CLARiiON
for VMware than any other networked storage array.
More IT departments choose EMCCLARiiON storage
for VMware than any other networked storage array
Data Sheet
EMC CLARiiON: Your Best Choice
for VMware
• Highest availability for virtualized IT
environments: 99.999 percent
• The most flexible network deployment
options for VMware: iSCSI and Fibre
Channel connectivity
• Industry’s only end-to-end quality of
service (QoS) solution: from virtual
machines through CLARiiON storage
• Ease of use for dynamic virtualized
infrastructures: Navisphere Task Bar
provisions storage in one minute
• Alter performance characteristics
and expand capacity of your virtual
machine file systems without disrup-
tion with virtualLUN and metaLUN
technology, respectively
• Accelerate end-to-end deployments
with EMC-tested reference architectures,
e-Lab, and service offerings
The Big Picture
The most flexible deployment options for VMware
VMware customers leveraging the advanced storage software and architecture of the
CLARiiON CX3 UltraScale series enjoy the most flexible deployment options available in
virtualized data centers. You can choose to deploy applications on Fiber Channel, iSCSI,
or FC/iSCSI-connected hosts. The flexibility of having both connectivity options in the
same networked storage system allows you to choose the best connectivity solution for
your VMware deployment—from both a cost and a performance perspective. For many
businesses looking to extend the economics experienced through their server consolidation
with VMware, iSCSI can provide the most cost-effective solution. The CLARiiON CX3
UltraScale series provides choice without compromise; the flexibility to deploy the right
connectivity solution for your organization.
Extending the value of flexibility is the ability to tier application performance with the
patent-pending QoS software, Navisphere®
Quality of Service Manager (NQM). In virtualized
data centers, the ability to have granular control over your virtual machine performance from
the virtual cpu/memory through the storage system is essential in being able to commit to
service-level agreements. CLARiiON’s advanced QoS software can be implemented to
provide advanced storage service-level management in highly dynamic, virtualized
infrastructures. When NQM is setup with VMware’s Dynamic Resource Scheduler (DRS)
functionality, you have the power of the industry’s only end-to-end QoS management in
your virtualized infrastructure.
MetaLUNs and virtualLUNs enable efficient provisioning and ILM
for VMware
Being able to quickly and non-disruptively deploy new virtual machines on the fly has
literally changed the game in information technology. CLARiiON’s metaLUN and
virtualLUN technologies compliment moves toward server virtualization, as they allow
for realtime/online expansion of LUNs and transparent volume movement, respectively,
with no interruption to host I/O.
MetaLUNs are created when a single LUN is expanded via several methods: concatenation,
striping, or both. When virtual machines require additional capacity, users easily provide
additional capacity to their application with metaLUN technology through CLARiiON’s
intuitive Web-based management interface, Navisphere Management Suite. The realtime
LUN expansion also supports the creation of new virtual machines on the fly. And with
the new capacity immediately available to theVMware ESXServer™, no reboot is necessary,
making this functionality imperceptible to the host application. Both RDM and VMFS are
supported with metaLUNs and users can leverage this key technology to make efficient
usage of their storage resources in a VMware environment.
With the CLARiiON CX3 UltraScale seriesyou have the capabilityto mixa widervarietyofdrive
types within a single system. This functionality to mix SATA, Fibre Channel, Low-Cost Fibre
Channel (both 2Gb/s and 4Gb/s drives) compliments economics found only with server vir-
tualization. VirtualLUNs are provided free of charge and make possible the ability to move
your virtual machines within the system—between drive types, online, and non-disruptively.
The flexibility to move virtual machines within the array based on your performance
requirements now becomes possible. In the event that a virtual machine becomes less
critical, virtualLUNs can be used to migrate information from FC to SATA drives online and
non-disruptively. VirtualLUNs can also be used when reconfiguring the system layout or
adding additional capacity. This technology makes CLARiiON one of the most flexible
midrange networked storage systems, allowing you manage and change the system con-
figuration as your VMware environment changes and grows.
Provision VMware storage in one minute with Navisphere Task Bar
Since virtual machines can be deployed on the fly, ease of use becomes a key consideration
when choosing which storage management software to implement with VMware. With
this in mind, CLARiiON has introduced an ease-of-use enhancement for the overall system
management of your VMware environment with the Navisphere Task Bar. With the
Navisphere TaskBar (free of charge for CLARiiON customers on service maintenance contract),
users can perform the most common storage management tasks with up to 70 percent fewer
steps. In a world where new virtual servers can be deployed in seconds, only Navisphere
TaskBar is able to keep up with this pace.TheTaskBar is designed to allow users to provision
as much as one terabyte of storage in one minute, which is two-to-six times faster than
any alternative storage allocation solution. Also, with the Navisphere Task Bar, you can
use the Mirror Wizard to mirror your data to a second CLARiiON in only two minutes, or
one minute to create a clone for backup. Ease of storage provisioning and protection for
virtual machines are just two examples of how you can compliment the advantages of
VMware manageability with CLARiiON and Navisphere Task Bar.

The flexibility of having both connectivity options in the same networked storage system allows you to choose the best connectivity solution for your VMware deployment—from both a cost and a performance perspective. For many businesses looking to extend the economics experienced through their server consolidation with VMware, iSCSI can provide the most cost-effective solution. The CLARiiON CX3 UltraScale series provides choice without compromise; the flexibility to deploy the right connectivity solution for your organization. Extending the value of flexibility is the ability to tier application performance with the patent-pending QoS software, Navisphere® Quality of Service Manager (NQM). In virtualized data centers, the ability to have granular control over your virtual machine performance from the virtual cpu/memory through the storage system is essential in being able to commit to service-level agreements. CLARiiON’s advanced QoS software can be implemented to provide advanced storage service-level management in highly dynamic, virtualized infrastructures. When NQM is setup with VMware’s Dynamic Resource Scheduler (DRS) functionality, you have the power of the industry’s only end-to-end QoS management in your virtualized infrastructure. MetaLUNs and virtualLUNs enable efficient provisioning and ILM for VMware Being able to quickly and non-disruptively deploy new virtual machines on the fly has literally changed the game in information technology. CLARiiON’s metaLUN and virtualLUN technologies compliment moves toward server virtualization, as they allow for realtime/online expansion of LUNs and transparent volume movement, respectively, with no interruption to host I/O. MetaLUNs are created when a single LUN is expanded via several methods: concatenation, striping, or both. When virtual machines require additional capacity, users easily provide additional capacity to their application with metaLUN technology through CLARiiON’s intuitive Web-based management interface, Navisphere Management Suite. The realtime LUN expansion also supports the creation of new virtual machines on the fly. And with the new capacity immediately available to theVMware ESXServer™, no reboot is necessary, making this functionality imperceptible to the host application. Both RDM and VMFS are supported with metaLUNs and users can leverage this key technology to make efficient usage of their storage resources in a VMware environment. With the CLARiiON CX3 UltraScale seriesyou have the capabilityto mixa widervarietyofdrive types within a single system. This functionality to mix SATA, Fibre Channel, Low-Cost Fibre Channel (both 2Gb/s and 4Gb/s drives) compliments economics found only with server vir- tualization. VirtualLUNs are provided free of charge and make possible the ability to move your virtual machines within the system—between drive types, online, and non-disruptively. The flexibility to move virtual machines within the array based on your performance requirements now becomes possible. In the event that a virtual machine becomes less critical, virtualLUNs can be used to migrate information from FC to SATA drives online and non-disruptively. VirtualLUNs can also be used when reconfiguring the system layout or adding additional capacity. This technology makes CLARiiON one of the most flexible midrange networked storage systems, allowing you manage and change the system con- figuration as your VMware environment changes and grows.
  • 3. Provision VMware storage in one minute with Navisphere Task Bar Since virtual machines can be deployed on the fly, ease of use becomes a key consideration when choosing which storage management software to implement with VMware. With this in mind, CLARiiON has introduced an ease-of-use enhancement for the overall system management of your VMware environment with the Navisphere Task Bar. With the Navisphere TaskBar (free of charge for CLARiiON customers on service maintenance contract), users can perform the most common storage management tasks with up to 70 percent fewer steps. In a world where new virtual servers can be deployed in seconds, only Navisphere TaskBar is able to keep up with this pace.TheTaskBar is designed to allow users to provision as much as one terabyte of storage in one minute, which is two-to-six times faster than any alternative storage allocation solution. Also, with the Navisphere Task Bar, you can use the Mirror Wizard to mirror your data to a second CLARiiON in only two minutes, or one minute to create a clone for backup. Ease of storage provisioning and protection for virtual machines are just two examples of how you can compliment the advantages of VMware manageability with CLARiiON and Navisphere Task Bar.
