EMC VNX is one of the primary storage arrays that is used across the whole organization. It provides the storage platform that all corporate servers are running on.
- Stable platform.
- Good support.
- It occupies a large floor space in the data center.
- Unisphere management interface uses Java, which is problematic to run.

The EMC VNX is the main storage system used by the whole organization but managed exclusively by the IT department. It mainly hosts the VMware servers and Unix Servers. The Unity feature allowed us to configure CIFS NAS storage for file sharing too. The EMC VNX has an auto-tiering feature which solved the delay problem we had in older storage systems. It has the ability to scale up and out.
- Auto- tiering, for faster access on blocks used most frequently
- Has both NAS and SAN ( unified system)
- Scale up ability
- Optimal for VMware
- Integrates with vCenter
- Easy monitoring and useful dashboards
- Relatively easy configure and management interface with safe delete
- Much slower compared to all-flash systems
- Navigation in the web interface is not smooth
- CIFS NAS is not easy to integrate with active directory
Our VNX is our primary SAN storage. It has been a very reliable and solid storage solution.
- VNX has had very solid uptime. Over the course of the last 5 years, we have had very little if any downtime.
- We have also used it for our home directories, and with the data dedupe on the file side it has saved us a lot of space.
- Adding additional drive space has also been really easy.
- The UI is very clunky and uses Java, which I am not a big fan of.
- It is difficult to see performance metrics or utilization. Tegile or Nimble provide a superior window into your performance and IOPS on LUNs and VMs.
