| | EMC Refreshes Chunk Of Storage Hardware Line - Symmetrix, Clariion, Virtual Tape, NetBackup - CRN |
 | | The biggest change for the channel is the addition of iSCSI capabilities to the Clariion line, making EMC one of the few major vendors to offer an array with simultaneous Fibre Channel and iSCSI connectivity, said Barry Ader, senior director of platforms at the Hopkinton, Mass.-based storage giant. |
 | | By bringing iSCSI and Fibre Channel into the 4-Gbps, Fibre Channel-based Clariion CX3 family, which EMC introduced in May, customers can dynamically meet different performance requirements and work with multiple tiers of storage in one chassis, Ader said. |
 | | By putting tiered storage within a single Clariion array, customers also get improved total cost of ownership, especially as they migrate their direct-attached storage capacity to iSCSI and gain the benefit of having both iSCSI SAN and Fibre Channel SAN data managed on one device, Champagne said. |
