"Today, as EMC redefines the possible for data center storage, the network is even more critical to help ensure application availability and performance," said Jack Rondoni, Vice President, Data Center Storage and Solutions, at Brocade. "In addition, new integration for XtremIO all-flash storage with the EMC ViPR^® software-defined storage platform extends our joint efforts to enable policy-based automation for managing and provisioning both EMC and non-EMC storage infrastructure within medium to large enterprise SANs."

Connectrix Fibre Channel SANs deliver industry-leading performance to support EMC VMAX³ systems, which now feature 2X the 16 Gbps full line-rate ports to double throughput compared to previous-generation VMAX systems. Brocade Fabric Vision™ technology, integral to Connectrix solutions, complements and enhances the advanced VMAX³ management tools by providing unprecedented visibility and insight across the storage network to maximize uptime and simplify SAN management. Together, the VMAX³ management tools and Fabric Vision technology allow SAN administrators to realize considerable time savings, along with a comprehensive and holistic view of their storage environment.
