Welcome existing and potential new EMC Mainframe customers! As a member of this elite community, we will assist you in navigating through EMC World 2008 by featuring and highlighting specific mainframe information that we know you will find valuable.
EMC brings continued value to our mainframe customers, by offering leading edge EMC technology innovation and IBM compatibility backed by a significant new long-term IBM licensing agreement.
Be sure and check out our latest mainframe product, EMC Disk Library for mainframe (EDLm) as well as
EMC's software solutions that provide comprehensive information protection options, array-based and host-based storage management to drive up utilization and lower cost of ownership.
You'll want to see the latest Symmetrix DMX-4 which is the industry's only storage array to support Flash drives for “Tier 0” ultra-performance requirements and the new Symmetrix DMX-4 950 which has mainframe connectivity support features. The latest operating system, Enginuity 5773, provides increased mainframe compatibility such as:
• Compatible HyperPAV—Processes multiple I/Os per volume more efficiently, and improves storage resource utilization
• Compatible Native Flash for Mainframe—Provides compatibility with IBM replication with lower MIPs utilization as compared to the prior host-based implementation
