EMC’s ScaleIO 1.30, now has improved VMware integration, raising the bar and eliminating limits on what can be done with software-defined storage. ScaleIO is a single-layer, enterprise-grade storage product that is scalable and elastic. ScaleIO can scale from a couple of servers to thousands (scaling from a few terabytes to several petabytes), and businesses can shrink or expand capacity and performance as needed without data migration or capacity planning. Version 1.30 has many benefits across a wide variety of solution including bare metal deployments, hypervisor based deployments, use cases (including OLTP workloads), virtual storage infrastructure for both enterprises and service providers, as well as EMC’s VSPEX based solution architecture.
