Introduction to VMAX3 with HYPERMAX OS
The EMC VMAX3 family storage arrays deliver tier-1 scale-out multi-controller
architecture with unmatched consolidation and efficiency for the enterprise. The
VMAX3 family includes three models:
l
VMAX 100K - 2 to 4 controllers, 48 cores, 2TB cache, 1440 2.5" drives, 64 ports,
1.1 PBu
l
VMAX 200K - 2 to 8 controllers, 128 cores, 8TB cache, 2880 2.5" drives, 128
ports, 2.3 PBu
l
VMAX 400K - 2 to 16 controllers, 384 cores, 16TB cache, 5760 2.5" drives, 256
ports, 4.3 PBu
VMAX3 arrays provide unprecedented performance and scale, and a radically new
architecture for enterprise storage that separates software data services from the
underlying platform. The combination of VMAX3 hardware and software provides:
l
Open system and mainframe connectivity
l
Dramatic increase in floor tile density by consolidating high capacity disk
enclosures for both 2.5" and 3.5" drives and engines in the same system bay
l
Support for either hybrid or all flash configurations
l
Unified block and file support through Embedded NAS (eNAS), eliminating the
physical hardware
l
Data at Rest Encryption for those applications that demand the highest level of
security
l
Service Level (SL) provisioning with FAST.X for external arrays (XtremIO, Cloud
Array, and other supported 3rd-party storage)
l
FICON, iSCSI, Fibre Channel, and FCoE front end protocols
l
Simplified management at scale through Service Levels, reducing time to provision
by up to 95% to less than 30 seconds
l
Extended tiering to the cloud with EMC CloudArray integration for extreme
scalability and up to 40% lower storage costs
HYPERMAX OS is an industry-leading open storage and hypervisor converged
operating system. HYPERMAX OS combines industry-leading high availability, I/O
management, quality of service, data integrity validation, storage tiering, and data
security with an open application platform.
HYPERMAX OS features the first real-time, non-disruptive storage hypervisor that
manages and protects embedded services by extending VMAX3 high availability to
services that traditionally would have run external to the array. It also provides direct
access to hardware resources to maximize performance.
22 Product Guide VMAX 100K, VMAX 200K, VMAX 400K with HYPERMAX OS
VMAX3 Family 100K, 200K, 400K arrays
VMAX3 arrays range in size from single up to two (100K), four (200K) or eight engine
systems (400K). Engines (consisting of two controllers) and high-capacity disk
enclosures (for both 2.5" and 3.5" drives) are consolidated in the same system bay,
providing a dramatic increase in floor tile density.
VMAX3 arrays come fully pre-configured from the factory, significantly reducing time
to first I/O at installation.
VMAX3 array features include:
l
Hybrid (mix of traditional/regular hard drives and solid state/flash drives) or all
flash configurations
l
System bay dispersion of up to 82 feet (25 meters) from the first system bay
l
Each system bay can house either one or two engines and up to six high-density
disk array enclosures (DAEs) per engine.
n
Single-engine configurations: up to 720 6 Gb/s SAS 2.5” drives, 360 3.5”
drives, or a mix of both drive types
n
Dual-engine configurations: up to 480 6 Gb/s SAS 2.5” drives, 240 3.5” drives,
or a mix of both drive types
l
Third-party racking (optional)

Disk drive support
The VMAX 100K, 200K, and 400K support the latest 6Gb/s dual-ported native SAS
drives. All drive families (Enterprise Flash, 10K, 15K and 7.2K RPM) support two
independent I/O channels with automatic failover and fault isolation. Configurations
with mixed-drive capacities and speeds are allowed depending upon the configuration.
All capacities are based on 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Actual usable capacity may
vary depending upon configuration.
