MESSAGE FROM EMC CHAIRMAN & CEO JOE TUCCI DEAR STAKEHOLDER, At EMC, we are looking toward the future. The IT industry is in the midst of a major transformation as dramatic as any the industry has experienced before. EMC is at the nexus of three of the most important drivers of this transformation: the adoption of cloud computing, the emergence of real time, predictive Big Data analytics, and the need to protect and secure information and IT networks to ensure trust. At the same time, the world around us is undergoing massive demographic, environmental, and cultural shifts that affect us as members of our industry, as members of our local communities, and as individuals. As a company intent on creating lasting value for our customers, employees, investors, and communities, we work to shape aspects of our changing world that we can influence and we strive to adapt where we must. Incorporating principles of sustainability in our product designs, operations, and decision-making enhances our resilience and agility in the face of global social and environmental events. Sustainable business practices create financial value by generating savings from more efficient products and operations and revenues from new market opportunities. Our commitment to a healthy and sustainable future also helps us attract, retain, and engage our talent pool. Above all, being conscious of the impacts of our business on all of our stakeholders makes us a better partner, supplier, employer, and a better neighbor. Our goal is for EMC to be a company that understands and considers the near- and long- term economic, environmental, and social implications of every choice we make. Through the efforts of an amazingly talented workforce of nearly 60,000 worldwide, and with the support of numerous stakeholders, we are making progress toward that goal. But we are not there yet. That is why I invite all of our internal and external stakeholders to explore this report to learn about our initiatives, accomplishments, and the work still ahead of us. I am incredibly optimistic about our future and our ability to seize this opportunity. Thank you for supporting us on this journey. JOSEPH M.

  • EMC VPLEX FAMILY Continuous Availability and Data Mobility Within and Across Data Centers
    EMC VPLEX FAMILY Continuous Availability and Data Mobility within and across data centers DELIVERING CONTINUOUS AVAILABILITY AND DATA MOBILITY FOR MISSION-CRITICAL APPLICATIONS Storage infrastructure is evolving to deliver new methods of making data mobile, freeing it from physical device limitations. Virtualizing storage extends the benefits of server virtualization, providing automation, integration with existing infrastructure and growth on demand. In the past, application data was tied to a single array. Providing Availability/mobility was challenging and doing so without application interruption was impossible. BENEFITS • Continuous Availability - Deliver application and data availability within the data center and over distance with active-active infrastructure utilization, eliminating planned and unplanned downtime. • Data Mobility - Move The EMC VPLEX family delivers data availability and mobility across arrays in a applications, virtual machines single data center and across arrays in data centers separated by distance. VPLEX and data within and across is a continuous availability and data mobility platform that enables mission-critical data centers and over distance applications to remain up and running during a variety of planned and unplanned without impacting users downtime scenarios, even in the event of a data center site failure. VPLEX enables non-disruptive data mobility, leveraging technologies like VMware and other • Migrate and relocate virtual clusters that were built assuming a single storage instance and enabling them to machines, applications, and function across arrays in a single data center and across distance. data non-disruptively So, how does VPLEX work? VPLEX enables the exact same data to be read/write • Eliminate planned and accessible across two arrays at the same time.

  • VCE Delivers Enterprise Clouds Today and Is Laying the Foundation to Make Them Great Tomorrow
    VCE Delivers Enterprise Clouds Today and is Laying the Foundation to Make Them Great Tomorrow Ever since Cisco, EMC, VMware and Intelannounced the formation of VCE, The Virtual Computing Environment Company, on November 3, 2009, there has been a fair amount of debate as to how VCE will operate. Many of the questions focus on what benefits VCE will deliver to enterprises now and what enterprises should ultimately expect from VCE in the future. Having recently attended the EMC Analyst Days Event in New York on January 17th and 18th, it is much clearer as to what VCE is delivering today and how it is laying the foundation to help make enterprise private clouds “Great” in the very near future. Over the last 15 or so months there has been a lot of buzz about VCE and its Vblock terminology as Vblocks are being positioned as the preferred underlying architecture for enterprise private clouds. While Vblock has been defined to contain compute, network, management, storage and virtualization resources, what has not been clear is why implementing Vblocks are so desirable nor has it been entirely clear what additional benefits that enterprises can expect to gain from Vblocks in the near future. Those questions were largely answered at this week’s EMC Analyst Days. In short, the VCE roadmap may best described as helping enterprises get from “Good to Great” in their own journey toward building the private cloud. The stage that best describes where VCE is at today in terms of delivering on the promise of enterprise private clouds is “Good.” By implementing today’s Vblock architecture,VCE immediately solves one of the more pressing but hidden and unspoken challenges that every enterprise data center faces: interoperability certification.
