I got these pictures from one of my customers who completed install of two new EMC VNX7500 arrays. It may be hard to tell but each of these systems host 21 x EFD drives and over 500 x SAS drives in a single rack. Building on EMC’s promise of efficiency, each of these VNX arrays are delivering over 60,000 heavy-write host IOPS while providing 130TB of usable capacity in a single rack, consuming less power than the 4 servers in the neighboring rack. Combined, these two arrays provide 260TB usable of extremely high performance storage to host many hundreds of production virtual servers.
