The StorCenter px12-400r also utilizes the latest version of EMC LifeLine software, an advanced operating system for Iomega NAS devices that makes EMC’s cloud capabilities available to a variety of smaller business users and other customers.
Advanced functions incorporated into the new StorCenter px12-400r Network Storage Array include: deduplication, VDI, database and storage-based applications. Emerging applications include video management systems (VMS) for surveillance and McAfee VirusScan Enterprise running natively on the storage. Other performance and reliability features include 4GB of DDR3 memory, four 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports, and support for 10GBE through optional PCIe card.
The StorCenter px12-400r uses the Intel Core i3 3.3GHz Ivy Bridge Processor to support heavy workloads like virtualization, deduplication, database management, and video surveillance. Additionally, it is compatible with multiple virtualization platforms, including VMware vSphere 5.0, Citrix XenServer, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008R2.
