Virtual Instruments and Panduit announced a new solution for EMC VSPEX for End User Computing with XtremIO proven infrastructure. The technology integration delivers a proven approach to deploying converged infrastructure with embedded performance monitoring across all systems and environments. This enhanced solution will provide EMC customers and partners with comprehensive visibility and definitive insight into their infrastructures’ functions and operations across all virtualized and cloud environments.
The EMC VSPEX for End User Computing with XtremIO architecture is targeted at the most demanding application I/O requirements for end user computing where transaction level performance is required. Through collaboration with Virtual Instruments’ VirtualWisdom infrastructure performance management (IPM) and Panduit tapped fiber cassettes, the new XtremIO offering gives users the ability to collect, monitor, and analyze granular real-time data at the storage protocol layer through to the virtualization layer. This solution enables customers to optimize EMC VSPEX with XtremIO deployments to ensure increased application performance and availability, and highly efficient hardware utilization.
Pete Eggimann, Director, VSPEX Ecosystem program at EMC, said, “We continue to deliver on our promise to give customers best-in-class technology that allows for faster deployments, greater efficiency, and lower risk deploying VSPEX architectures. In collaboration with Panduit and Virtual Instruments, VSPEX with XtremIO deployments combine industry-leading compute, network, and virtualization technologies with real-time performance and diagnostic monitoring capabilities to ensure predictable performance levels of the most demanding and critical end user computing workloads.”
Virtual Instruments and Panduit created the EMC VSPEX with XtremIO integrated offering to help streamline platform configurations for quick and consistent deployments of virtualized desktop infrastructure and applications.
Panduit provides the cabling infrastructure, including QuickNet Tapped Fiber Cassettes, which enables Virtual Instruments to integrate the additional layer of intelligence and infrastructure performance management technology into the EMC VSPEX with XtremIO architecture. Such deployments will enable EMC partners to provide customers with expanded services and support for mission-critical workloads.
With the explosion of virtualized applications across software defined data centers, enterprises are beginning to proactively instrument performance management capabilities at the time of deployment. This reference architecture enables customers to deliver embedded performance management capabilities to identify and fix any performance degradation in real-time.
“EMC continues to lead the industry with reference architectures that provide customers with a simple, yet flexible, platform that can easily be configured based on the performance characteristics of the application. The joint EMC with VSPEX architecture reduces the complexity and risk that typically come with virtualizing IO-intensive workloads by building in tools to increase performance and availability,” said Jason Cowie, Strategic Alliances Director, Virtual Instruments.
