	Symmetrix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Symmetrix is EMC's flagship enterprise storage array.
		There have been seven generations of Symmetrix hardware, with the first appearing in 1994 and the latest introduced in 2006.
		The Symmetrix began in 1990 as an ESCON and SCSI connected storage array, but rose to prominence with the introduction of Fibre Channel-based SANs.

	Information Storage Systems are based on Direct Matrix Architecture., EMC Corp.
		The Symmetrix DMX series is based on the revolutionary new, patented Direct Matrix Architecture, setting a new trajectory for scalability, performance, availability, functionality and affordability, and serving as the foundation architecture for the next decade of high-end storage innovation.
		Symmetrix DMX800, the world's first rack-mount high-end storage system (see separate release), scales from 8 to 16 front-end ports, from 1.2 to17.5 terabytes of raw capacity (1 to 15.3 usable) and from 4 to 32 gigabytes of global cache for open systems environments.
		Symmetrix DMX achieves this through component redundancy and continuous validation; the storage industry's first implementation of the most advanced cache error mitigation techniques; unique component isolation through elimination of data busses and switches; an independent messaging matrix; and proactive error detection, fault isolation and phone-home diagnostics.

		The direct matrix architecture of the Symmetrix DMX (left) does away with intervening controllers like those in a crossbar-switch architecture to enable a host of direct, point-to-point connections between cache memory and the front-end and back-end controllers.
		The direct matrix architecture of the Symmetrix DMX (top) eliminates intervening controllers (such as those shown in the crossbar-switch architecture beneath) to enable a host of direct, point-to-point connections between cache memory and front- and back-end controllers.
		Symmetrix DMX offerings range from the low-end DMX800, which shares a modular cabinet design with EMC's midrange Clariion, to the Symmetrix DMX2000-P with 128GB global cache and 64 disk channels (see "Symmetrix DMX Model Offerings").

	Will EMC's new Symmetrix be enough to win users
		Additionally, the Symmetrix 6 is expected to feature more cache, up to 256G bytes and 128 Fibre Channel ports, as well as Seagate's 146G byte, 10,000 rpm disk drives and its 73G byte, 15,000 rpm drives.
		EMC would not confirm or deny that a new Symmetrix was on the way, but company spokesman Dave Farmer said that EMC is in the middle of the most aggressive product rollout in the company's history.
		First, there is the ability to allow customers to use EMC software to do more with the Symmetrix 6 on their own, which has the potential impact of reducing professional services revenue for EMC.
