EMC VNX is one of the primary storage arrays that is used across the whole organization. It provides the storage platform that all corporate servers are running on.

Product Usage

Pros and Cons

Things done well

It occupies a large floor space in the data center.
Unisphere management interface uses Java, which is problematic to run.

Things done poorly

With the VNX being EOL and the emergence of EMC Unity, I would suggest using EMC Unity instead.

Due to its stability, it is very rare to have downtime—meaning business operations are not interrupted from an infrastructure level.
Support and maintenance can be expensive.

Return on Investment

EMC VNX is currently EOL, so we are in the process of migrating to EMC Unity and VMAX. We stayed with the EMC portfolio of storage solutions due to their proven record and history of good performance.
