EMC launches 40 new storage products, solutions in India

Information infrastructure solutions provider EMC Corporation today announced the launch of 40 new storage products and solutions in India.

They included 15 new simplified unified storage solutions -- EMC VNX family -- for the small and medium businesses (SMB) segment, EMC India and SAARC President Manoj Chugh told reporters here.

The multiple new storage systems and software features also included new unified systems for the midrange, new software for its high-end systems and new disk-based backup and recovery and archiving systems.

"The technologies are part of a multi-billion-dollar investment in storage that positions EMC at the intersection of all the major trends that are driving massive information growth, including cloud computing and Big Data applications," the company said.

Chugh said with VNXe, EMC has designed an entirely new storage array built specifically for the SMB segment, which does not have the luxury of in-house storage experts.

"EMC VNXe can be installed in minutes and configured in seconds. By offering twice the capacity at half the cost of most current competitive alternatives, it is a compelling choice for organisations that are under pressure to manage digital information deluge and deliver efficient IT services", he said.

EMC has committed investment of $2 billion in India over 5 years (2010-2014).
