EMC VPLEX Launches Today

I’ll have a more comprehensive blog post up later today or tonight, but I did want to bring everyone’s attention to the announcement of the VPLEX today at EMC World 2010. Like I said, I’ll have a more in-depth post up later, but for now here are a few links to some other coverage:

VPLEX: The Birth Of A New Storage Platform
EMC Shouts VPLEX In A Crowded EMCWorld
EMC Launches VPlex for Global Pooling of Stored Data
EMC Launches VPlex, eyes teleporting petabytes globally
EMC World: EMC takes the wraps off VPLEX

Make no mistake about it—this is game-changing technology. Stay tuned for more details.

    Hmm game changing eh? So EMC has given up on Invista and announced redux called VPLEX … an improvement on Invista though. Not as robust or functionally rich as IBM SVC. And, of course, in typical EMC fashion, more marketing hype than actual fact. Wonder how many installs they have two years after announce?

    Steve, can you provide some concrete examples of features or functions that IBM SVC offers that VPLEX does not? I’d be interested to know, and other readers would probably be interested as well. Thanks!
