EMC's next generation CLARiiON productline CX4 does introduct some exciting features that only belong to high-end disk array before. The first and largest innovation is the introduction of UltraFlex architecture. With UltraFlex, you can configure your array with either 10G iscsi modules or 4/8 Gb FC modules. Just plugin and play then you can turn an FC array into iSCSI one. Also, there is reserved slot for future FCoE module, and I guess even Infiniband module if converged IB tech becomes mature.
Above are two pic about the CX4 960 CPU and I/O module. You can see that one CX4 960 controller module has up to 4 flex I/O module to choose.
The other features including Flash SSD as level 0 storage and energy smart drive speed destage according to I/O load. Sounds the same with DMX4's change recently.
There is a RecoveryPoint embbed in Flare to provide local and remote copy, especially for integration with VMware Site Recovery Manager. I will discuss it in my next blog:-).
At least, now we can know how many disks each modle can hold directly from their modle name :-) There are 4 modles with different capacity: CX4 120, CX4 240, CX4 480, and ulitimately CX4 960.
