Overview:

Achieve performance availability and simple management at cloud scale with EMC VMAX 400K the fastest and largest of our VMAX3 mission-critical storage systems. And now you can use industry&rsquos leading Tier 1 array to extend performance and reliability to data services including mainframe file backup and other services.

Get ready to automate modernize and consolidate your data center infrastructure. VMAX 400K makes it radically simple to set SLOs for resources inside the array and for external storage you can present through it including EMC XtremIO. Virtually provision storage. Set the service level objective for any workload in 1 click.

File services are embedded on the array so it&rsquos easy to converge block file and mainframe workloads to lower your total cost of ownership. EMC VMAX 400K hybrid storage array delivers simple SLO provisioning and massive consolidation of diverse workloads.

The EMC VMAX3TM is incredibly well suited to solve the CIO challenge of embracing a modernized flash-centric data center and hybrid cloud while simultaneously trying to simplify automate and consolidate IT operations. VMAX3 isn&rsquot just bigger better and faster &ndash which it is &ndash VMAX3 was designed as an enterprise data services platform that specifically addresses the new requirements of the modern data center while continuing to deliver the reliability and availability our customers have relied on for years.

With VMAX3 the industry&rsquos leading tier 1 array has evolved into a highly scalable hardware platform with a complete set of rich software data services servicing internal and now external block storage. VMAX3 data services are delivered by a highly resilient scalable and agile hardware platform that offers global cache CPU (processing) flexibility performance and high availability at scale while meeting the needs of the most demanding mainframe and open systems storage infrastructures.
