Best-in-Class Mid-Tier Performance

The EMC CLARiiON family of networked storage systems brings best-in-class performance to the mid-tier with a wide range of solutions - all based on the powerful, proven CLARiiON architecture. From the entry-level EMC AX4 to the top-of-the-line EMC CLARiiON CX3-80 or CX4-960, choose the performance, capabilities, and price that's right for you.

In addition to these robust Fibre Channel SAN solutions, EMC offers a broad range of CLARiiON iSCSI models that let you tap low-cost iSCSI connectivity to consolidate storage. The CX3-20 and CX3-40 FC/iSCSI systems allow you to deploy a mix of Fibre Channel and iSCSI in the same system.

The CLARiiON CX4 series extends EMC's leadership in midrange storage and delivers:

Flash drives offering Tier "0" storage with 30 times more IOPS
UltraFlex technology for dual protocol connectivity, online expansion via IO modules, and readiness for future technologies-such as 8 Gb/s Fibre Channel and 10 Gb/s iSCSI
CLARiiON Virtual Provisioning for increased utilization, just-in-time capacity allocation, and simplified provisioning and capacity planning
Multi-core Intel Xeon processors, increased memory, and 64-bit FLARE, providing up to twice the performance and scale, and the foundation for more advanced software functionality
Low power SATA II drives, Adaptive Cooling, and drive Spin Down-new energy-efficiency options for customers
Concurrent local and remote replication (CLR) via the integrated RecoverPoint splitter that simplifies CLARiiON CX4 series deployments
