1 dell | EMC CX4-480 . Bringing a new level of performance, flexibility, and resource utilization to enterprise-class storage Enterprise-class storage Enhanced data tiering dell / EMC CX series storage arrays have built a reputation for Fully automated storage tiering (FAST) seamlessly moves 1GB. performance, ease of use, scalability, flexibility, reliability, and chunks of data to different disk tiers based on performance investment protection since their initial launch in 2002. Now in requirements. On the CX4-480 , flash drives can be used as a their fourth generation, the CX4 arrays build on that reputation Tier 0 for data with the highest performance requirements.

2 Fibre and are designed to greatly increase performance and capacity Channel drives are available in both 10K and 15K rotational speeds from the previous generation. The CX4 series provides impressive as a Tier 1 for the next level of performance. RPM SATA drives flexibility and investment protection with the introduction of new are available as a Tier 2 for high capacity and lower cost UltraFlex technologies as they become available. storage needs. CX4-480 Help reduce power and cooling costs The dell / EMC CX4-480 offers an excellent combination The dell / EMC CX4-480 delivers several features to help reduce of performance, flexibility, and scalability for users with high power and cooling costs.

3 Availability requirements. It is well suited for demanding OLTP and Low power SATA drives consume up to 32% less energy than messaging workloads or other applications that benefit from array- standard RPM SATA drives*. based replication. The adaptability offered with this highly scalable storage array helps protect your company's bottom line by Drive spin down comes standard on the CX4, which allows allowing your storage infrastructure to scale to meet your needs drives to be powered down when not in use. today and tomorrow.

4 LUN Compression and Thin Provisioning reduces the amount of physical disks needed for a data set. Ultraflex technology Adaptive cooling optimizes fan speed to reduce power consumption. The CX4 series introduces UltraFlex technology that enables the user to customize the network interconnect and number of ports needed to meet current and future storage requirements. The Manage your data CX4-480 comes standard with Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity as dell / EMC storage arrays now come with Unisphere, a task based, well as either iSCSI or Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) ports.

5 It highly intuitive management interface that controls current and can easily be expanded with additional FC, iSCSI, or FCoE ports as legacy CX environments. This enhancement reduces administrator they become available. overhead and improves reliability. Massive scalability and flexibility Solve your problems The CX4-480 supports up to 480 hard drives, connects to as many dell / EMC storage arrays are integrated into dell 's Exchange , SQL. as 1024 highly available hosts, and has 10 UltraFlex I/O slots for Server , and Oracle solutions, which offer tested and validated reference connectivity customization.

6 In addition, the CX4-480 supports architectures to help solve your messaging and database challenges. enterprise flash drives (EFD). All dell / EMC CX4 arrays offer data in- place upgrades within the CX4 family and from previous generations that support larger capacities and greater performance. Storage consulting from dell Offers a comprehensive suite of assessment, design and implementation services to help customers get the most from Reduce operational costs their dell / EMC CX arrays, covering data management, application Thin provisioning enables the CX4-480 to allocate space only as performance, data protection and cost of ownership.

7 dell it is needed by hosts instead of setting up a large pool of storage Consultants can provide practical action-oriented plans, to deliver that goes unused. The result is that fewer drives are required, specific, predictable and measured outcomes through helping to reduce hardware costs, management time and costs, high-impact, short duration projects. and power consumption.
