The EMC CLARiiON CX4 series is the fourth generation CLARiiON CX storage platform in the mid-range storage market, which adopts industry-leading technological innovations, including the 0 layer flash drive, UltraFlex technology and CLARiiON Virtual Resource Scheduling, which can provide flexible and scalable hardware design and advanced software functions for medium and large enterprises to meet the ever-growing needs.
The CLARiiON CX4 series provides a flexible, scalable hardware design combined with advanced software functions. Built on Intel Xeon processors, it offers flash‑driven low‑latency performance, dual‑protocol (Fibre Channel and iSCSI) connectivity, and UltraFlex modular expansion for future technologies.
Four models – CX4‑120, CX4‑240, CX4‑480 and CX4‑960 – share the same core architecture and are pre‑configured with Fibre Channel and iSCSI. They support hot‑swap components, integrated Navisphere management, and a suite of data‑protection features such as SnapView, MirrorView, RecoverPoint and virtual LUN technology.
