• Evolving the Data Center

• Multiprotocol SAN access is a service = agility

• Meet high availability requirements for all types of traffic

• Scale beyond 15Tbps, 40GbE and 100GbE ready

Cisco’s Nexus 7000, Nexus 5000, and Nexus 2000

provide the most flexibility and agility for multiprotocol

converged networks, especially when combined with

EMC’s broad storage portfolio: Symmetrix, Atmos,

VNX, and CLARiiON.


What you need, when you need it, where you need it

Evolve data center at your own pace

Connect to any storage through same universal access point

Unlimited flexibility for storage

Cisco’s Unified Port technology simplifies the switch

purchase, increasing design flexibility while removing

specific protocol bandwidth bottlenecks. Flexible LAN

& SAN can be based on business needs, not

technical limitations, and service can be adjusted

based on the demand for specific traffic.


What is it?

– A federation HW and SW platform that can

extend storage beyond the boundaries of the

data center

– Located in the SAN to present hosts with a

federated view of EMC and non-EMC storage

What is unique?

– Distributed coherent cache

– N+1 scale out cluster

– N-1 resiliency

– Architected for Global Apps

EMC Connectrix MDS Fibre Channel distance

solutions support EMC VPLEX Active/Active inter-

connection between storage devices (for example,

Symmetrix) through data centers across the cloud.


• Single system across multiple locations

• Seamless scalability

• Automates data placement

• Easy storage access across networks

• Metering and self-service

Atmos operates as a single entity that

distributes content in an Active/Active

paradigm using Cisco Nexus 7000, Cisco

Nexus 5000, or Cisco Nexus 3000 platforms.


• Protects against local and regional disruptions

• Increases application availability by reducing downtime

• Minimizes/eliminates performance impact on applications and hosts

• Improves recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs) with automated restart solutions

• Tens of thousands of licenses shipped

EMC SRDF works equally well using EMC

Connectrix MDS Series Fibre Channel (FC) or

Cisco Nexus 7000 Ethernet distance solutions.


• Broad portfolio of storage

• Most connectivity options between Symmetrix, VNX, Atmos and CLARiiON

• Connectivity to Nexus 7000, Nexus 5000, Nexus 3000 and EMC Connectrix MDS platforms
