Symmetrix V-Max

The Virtual Matrix storage architecture is the perfect fit for Virtual Infrastuctures

Symmetrix V-Max
Symmetrix V-Max Series is a distributed multi-node storage system that can scale from one to 8 highly available V-Max Engines. It can be configured for a maximum capacity of over two Petabytes using a full range of drive options - from ultra-fast Enterprise Flash Drives, Fibre Channel drives to the highest capacity 1 TB SATA-II drives.
Symmetrix V-Max SE (single Engine) scales from 48 to 360 drives and is ideal for smaller capacity needs that require the highest levels of performance, availability, and functionality.
Symmetrix V-Max provides linear scale out of system resources: 96 to 2,400 drives and is ideal for massive consolidation beyond all limits.

Key features

Benefits
