It integrates with Microsoft, OpenStack and VMware, making it easy to incorporate ViPR Controller into existing data center operations or to build a software-defined data center. OPEN SOURCE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ViPR Controller development is driven by the open source community project CoprHD. This type of development model encourages community collaboration for expanding the breadth and depth of features and functionality including support for non-EMC storage arrays and data protection technologies. It also strengthens ViPR Controller as a single, vendor-neutral control point for software-defined storage automation. EMC VIPR SRM: VISUALIZE. ANALYZE. OPTIMIZE. ViPR SRM is storage management software that makes it easier than ever to manage the complexity of growing, heavily virtualized storage environments. It enables you to visualize application to storage dependencies and analyze configurations and capacity growth. While ViPR Controller abstracts and pools arrays into virtual storage pools, integration with ViPR SRM helps you understand the physical to logical relationships. Armed with this information, you can optimize your traditional and ViPR Controller managed environment to improve your return on investment. Figure 1. ViPR SRM User Interface VISUALIZE With ViPR SRM, you can obtain detailed relationship and topology views from virtual or physical hosts down to the logical unit number (LUN) to identify application to storage dependencies. You can also view performance trends across the data path to help you understand the impact that storage has on your applications. ANALYZE ViPR SRM allows you to quickly spot service-level agreement (SLA) problems through dashboards and reports that meet the needs of a wide range of users and roles. You can track storage consumption across your data centers with built-in views that help you understand who’s using capacity, how much they’re using and when more will be required. OPTIMIZE ViPR SRM helps you optimize capacity and improve productivity to get the most out of your storage investments. It shows historical workloads and response times to help you determine whether you’ve selected the right storage tier. It maps ViPR Controller virtual pools to service levels, tracks capacity use by service level and EMC Fully Automated Storage Tiering (FAST) policy, enabling you to create show-back or charge-back reports to align application requirements with costs. Detailed capacity reporting improves planning to enhance purchasing processes and reduce costs. Armed with this information, you can optimize your storage environment. BETTER TOGETHER Together, ViPR Controller and ViPR SRM allow you to do more than manage data growth across your multi-vendor storage environment. They provide you a path to the cloud with control, choice and insight. With ViPR Controller you can deliver agile, innovative storage services to stakeholders, while providing visibility and control with ViPR SRM. Harness explosive data growth, while optimizing your IT resources with ViPR Controller and ViPR SRM. Figure 2.

  • EMC Vipr Software- Defined Storage Software-Defined Storage
    Powerlink May 2013 Frequently Asked Questions: EMC ViPR Software- Defined Storage Software-Defined Storage Table of Contents What's New? Platform Questions Customer Benefits Fit with Other EMC Products What's New? Question: What is being announced? Answer: On May 6, at EMC World, EMC announced EMC ViPR Software-Defined Storage. EMC ViPR Software-Defined Storage is a revolutionary approach to storage automation and management that transforms existing heterogeneous physical storage into a simple, extensible and open virtual storage platform. Question: How does ViPR work? Answer: EMC ViPR is a lightweight software platform that abstracts storage with all its unique capabilities from physical arrays into a single pool of virtual storage. Storage administrators then create virtual storage arrays that they can manage at the virtual layer according to automated policies. Storage administrators define various Virtual Storage Pools that represent storage performance characteristics and capabilities suited for particular workloads. Data services, such as block, file and object data services run on top of the platform and leverage the unique attributes of the Virtual Storage Pools and arrays. ViPR centralizes storage management to monitor utilization and performance all though a single interface across physical and virtual storage. ViPR is also extensible, so any customer, service provider or vendor can easily augment it to support additional non-EMC storage, develop new data services and integrate with cloud stacks such as VMware, Microsoft and OpenStack. ViPR supports open APIs including, Amazon S3, EMC Atmos and OpenStack Swift so applications written to those APIs can run on ViPR. Question: How is EMC ViPR different from storage virtualization? Answer: ViPR is unlike previous attempts at storage virtualization in that it decouples the control path from the data path.

    PRODUCT OVERVIEW DELL EMC VXRACK SYSTEM 1000 SERIES Hyper-Converged Infrastructure at scale Converged infrastructure brings together the disparate infrastructure elements that power IT, including servers, data storage devices, networking functions, virtualization, management software, orchestration, and applications. The purpose: To simplify IT by breaking down the silos in the data center, reversing the status quo of static and inflexible pools of resources. Converged infrastructure solutions are proven to significantly speed deployments, make infrastructure more agile, and simplify IT operations—all of which is critical to successfully deliver IT as a service. In contrast to traditional converged infrastructure solutions, hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) is a software-defined architecture with integrated compute, networking, software-defined storage, and virtualization. It enables compute, storage, and networking functions to be decoupled from the underlying infrastructure and run on a common set of physical resources that are based on VxRack System industry-standard x86 components. Using hyper-converged infrastructure, customers can start with 1000 Series a small deployment, and then flexibly scale out to support dynamic workloads and evolving Modular hyper-converged infrastructure business needs. system that delivers extreme scalability The VxRack System 1000 series is a hyper-converged platform that complements Dell EMC and flexibility converged infrastructure systems.
