Architecture
Performance
Dual active controllers with front-end cache and SAS back-end drive connections
FC, iSCSI, and FCoE host connections for SAN
Up to eight X-Blades provide file access over NFS, CIFS, pNFS, and MPFS protocols
Controllers and X-Blades support flexible plug-in UltraFlex modules for connectivity; UltraFlex modules include FC, iSCSI, and
FCoE options
Supports high-capacity LFF SAS, high-performance LFF SAS, and high-performance SFF SAS disk drives, in addition to LFF
and SFF SSDs
Higher-end models (VNX5700/7500), in general, are more expensive per GB than the Storwize V7000
External storage virtualization capability extends lifecycle and allows for easy migration of
legacy systems, thus enabling a better return on investment (ROI)
Similar price per GB to the Storwize V7000 for mixed SSD and SAS configurations
Standard warranty covers three years for hardware but 90 days only for software
Up to 2,970 TB raw capacity

Remote Protection Suite (includes MirrorView, Replicator, and RecoverPoint /SE) remote block and file replication and
Underlying file technology based on industry-leading General Parallel File System (GPFS)
continuous remote replication (CRR) with WAN deduplication and bandwidth reduction
FlashCopy for local point-in-time block volume copies
MirrorView is less scalable than Storwize V7000 Remote Mirroring
File snapshots for local point-in-time file system and file set copies
RecoverPoint/SE supports both block and file replication but file replication is limited
Security and Compliance Suite includes file-level retention, host-based encryption, and antivirus integration and provides
Thin provisioning with zero detection
additional legal compliance and data security options
Remote Mirroring for remote block volume replication
EMC's Cloud Tiering Appliance enables ILM functionality on VNX arrays but increases solution complexity
Asynchronous file replication for remote file system replication
