Nexus IS Incorporates More Recent EMC VNXs

Nexus IS, a national provider of professional, cloud and managed services for IT solutions, is including EMC Corporation‘s next-generation VNX storage arrays into the catalog of NexusConnected VSPEX offerings.

Highlights of the new VNX Series include increased application performance, storage efficiency, data protection, data availability and ease-of-use. All achieved at 1/3 the price of the previous VNX generation.

EMC has enhanced the VSPEX Infrastructure portfolio with 18 configurations, all of which include the new VNX systems. The inclusion of the VNX 5400, 5600 and 5800 in VSPEX solutions delivers 2x more VMs and twice the value offering the broadest choice for workloads that matter most.

Built on EMC’s storage and data protection solutions, along with virtualization, server, and network technology from EMC alliance partners such as Cisco, Citrix, Intel, Microsoft and VMware, VSPEX is a flexible reference architecture that helps customers shorten time to value, reduce IT overhead and streamline management as they transform their IT.

The new VSPEX configurations powered by VNX speed transformation to the cloud by driving simplicity and offering more VMs per system, thereby reducing time-intensive planning, sizing and configuration by administrators.

“The new VNX architecture enables Nexus to provide even more value to our customers at the same or lower cost,” stated Steve Rogers, director of the data center practice, Nexus. “With the new VNX series, we are seeing significant performance improvements on virtual, file and database workloads. Integrating these new models into our NexusConnected VSPEX offerings is a great enhancement to our portfolio of solutions.”
