EMC announced today several enhancements to their Clariion product line ranging from optimizing the Clariion CX4 virtualized experience, to increased connectivity and scale in the virtual environment to the introduction of an energy efficient spin down feature.

This announcement details a number of innovations that raises the competitive bar for EMC’s midrange competitors particularly in the virtualized storage space which will no doubt inject energy into this platform. Guess the close relationship with VMware does have tangible advantages. I appreciated the toggling feature of RecoverPoint as innovative and offers a neat solution to demand spikes.
