licensing, CloudArray provides similar functionality across form factors. All versions of
CloudArray are able to provide users with connections to over 20 different public and
private clouds including EMC ViPR, VMware vCloud Air, Rackspace, Amazon Web
Services, Google Cloud, EMC Atmos and Openstack. In addition to back-end support
for multiple cloud providers, CloudArray easily integrates with existing applications by
presenting the cloud through traditional SAN and NAS interfaces.
VIRTUAL EDITION
CloudArray Virtual Edition is available in three different virtual appliance models for
VMware ESX or ESXi (Server v6.x or greater) and Microsoft Hyper-V (Server 2008 R2
or Server 2012). These models are distinguished by their recommended local cache
size from 3TB to 12TB, but otherwise contain the same feature sets and capabilities.
Unlike the CloudArray physical appliances, CloudArray VE relies on organizations’
existing SAN, NAS or DAS storage to supply the disk for the local cache. As a result,
the type of disk chosen for cache directly impacts the performance and reliability of
each CloudArray VE model, with RAID6 disk enabling recovery from dual disk failures
and high performance disk providing greater speeds and cache performance.
Additional minimum requirements:
•
60 GB of disk space
•
2 virtual processors assigned to CloudArray VE
