Each CLARiiON FC4700 storage processor has the following:Each CLARiiON FC4700 storage processor has the following:

Two Intel 733MHz Pentium III processors— Runs more software, faster

Two front-end Fibre Channel ports with optical GBICs — More connectivity to more hosts—switched or arbitrated loop

Redundant backend FC-AL loops— Greater redundancy and greater throughput

1GB of RAMBUS memory— Improved system response time

CLARiiON FC4700CLARiiON FC4700NON-DISRUPTIVE UPGRADES

A new level of information availability for continued operation Both the CLARiiON FC4700 and all host-attached servers

remain fully operational during system level or maintenance upgrade procedures

— Application software— FC4700 core code

Totally transparent to all array-attached hosts

Access LogixAccess LogixVOLUME ACCESS CONTROL

EMC Access Logix is a software product for CLARiiON storage arrays

Access Logix ensures only authorized servers have access to specific volumes (LUNs)

— Storage-based product uses no host cycles— Transparent to server, operating system, and applications— Centralized, simplified management via EMC Navisphere

Access Logix protects data from unauthorized access— Servers can access only authorized volumes— Access control is maintained once on the CLARiiON array

rather than on every attached server— Volumes can be shared by server cluster pairs

EMC SnapViewEMC SnapViewPARALLEL INFORMATION ACCESS

SnapView is a software product for the CLARiiON FC4700 SnapView creates logical point-in-time views of production

information— Storage-based product uses no host cycles— Takes only seconds to create a complete snapshot— Snapshots can be created requiring only a fraction of the original

file system space

Snapshot allows parallel access to production data— Are read/write mountable by a secondary host for increased

productivity— Minimizes time that production data is unavailable to users— Eliminates scheduled downtime for backups— Enables more frequent data warehouse refreshes

EMC MirrorViewEMC MirrorView REMOTE DISASTER RECOVERY

EMC MirrorView is a software product for the CLARiiON FC4700

MirrorView maintains synchronous remote mirroring between two CLARiiON FC4700 arrays

— Storage-based product uses no host cycles— Transparent to server, operating system, and applications— Centralized, simplified management via EMC Navisphere

MirrorView protects production information from unavailability and loss

— Protection from environmental, mechanical, or technical threats

— Continuous, bi-directional information integrity— Failover production environment to remote site— Enables concurrent information access at remote site
