Performance, capacity and configuration management for VMware administrators
vCenter Operations Management Suite is tightly integrated with VMware vSphere and integrates performance, capacity and configuration management to automate operations management.

Patented analytics deliver actionable intelligence and powerful visualisations across all layers of the stack provide unprecedented visibility. Unlike traditional management solutions designed for static, physical environments, vCenter Operations is purpose built for dynamic environments by the leader in virtualisation and cloud infrastructure.

New features include:

Tighter integration - single solution for performance, capacity & configuration management
New dashboard with smart alerts - for quicker, more effective health analysis
Host compliance - automate the hardening of vSphere with pre-built compliance guidelines
Application dependency mapping - automated discovery and relationship visualisation

Dramatically improve application performance with server Flash-cache technology
EMC VFCache puts data closer to the application, caching the most frequently used data on the server-based PCIe card to dramatically improve performance of read-intensive applications. VFCache sits in the server on the PCIe bus, so data no longer needs to travel through the network to the storage array.

VFCache is the fastest PCIe solution on the market, providing the industry’s highest IOPS and lowest latency. With reductions in response time of as much as 50 percent and throughput improvements of more than 300 percent, VFCache provides order-of-magnitude better performance for the applications that require the highest throughput and/or minimal response time.

High-performance inline deduplicated storage for backups
EMC Data Domain deduplication storage systems lower costs and simplify data protection by eliminating tape backups and by reducing the physical storage needed to retain and recover backup data.

Data Domain systems use high-speed, inline deduplication and network-efficient replication for backup and recovery. This scalable storage platform integrates easily into existing environments and supports all leading backup applications.

The following new models provide significantly greater scalability and lower cost per GB than the models they replace:

Data Domain DD160 appliance - up to 3.98 TB usable and 1.1 TB/hr throughput
Data Domain DD620 appliance - up to 8.3 TB usable and 2.4 TB/hr throughput
Data Domain DD640 appliance - up to 32.2 TB usable and 3.4 TB/hr throughput
