Boston, MA, 11/15/2013 (wallstreetpr) – EMC Corporation (NYSE:EMC) on Thursday revealed that it is making its EMC(®) XtremIO((TM)) All-Flash Array open for general availability. XtremeIO will become the industry’s first and foremost all-flash array which will deliver constant and predictable extreme performance to any application workload over a given period of time, irrespective of the fact if the array sits idle or busy, full or empty. EMC XtremIO features numerous exclusive flash innovations.It houses a scale-out multi-controller design with linear scalability; inline deduplication, data protection which is 6 times efficient and 4 times faster than conventional RAID.
EMC XtremIO is designed unusually than other all-flash array. It comprises four main technologies namely Content-based data placement,Dual Stage Metadata engine, XtremeIo Data Protection and a Shared In-Memory Metadata, which works in coordination to maximize performance without loosing efficiency or durability:
EMC expects XtremIO to dominate the all-flash array market, which as per IDC is estimated to record a $1.2 billion growth in revenue by the year 2015. EMC is already experiencing a high demand of its new array as 10 Petabytes of deduplicated capacity is already sold through EMC’s Directed Availability program.
XtremeIO will essentially cater to customer’s requirement of managing fluctuating workloads by not only attaining better performance, but also improves $/IOPS and better administrative simplicity. It is a scale-out array which is based on the building blocks like X-Bricks. These X-Brick has 10TB capacity currently and a new 20TB capacity option is expected to come from the beginning of the next year. XtremIO arrays with a single cluster and inline deduplication can services almost one million fully random IOPS having an effective capacity of over 250TB.A single XtremIO cluster ranges from two to eight controllers and up to 128 cores and is fully equipped to manage any virtual server, OLTP Database and VDI workload.Additionally,XtremIO is incorporated within the EMC ecosystem so as to be user-friendly with extra competence and compatibility.
