Gartner has placed Dell EMC, listed in the Gartner Magic Quadrant under its former name, EMC, in the Leaders quadrant of the August 2016 Magic Quadrant for Solid-State Arrays. EMC has held as leadership position in this quadrant since its inception three years ago which it believes is largely due to their market-leading XtremIO all-flash array (AFA), and is now Dell EMC
Released at EMC World 2015, XtremIO supports new larger all-flash array configurations, expanding on-demand capabilities, and consolidating workloads at unprecedented levels of performance and availability. It leverages XtremIO’s breakthrough scale-out architecture, which more than doubled previous density with 40TBs per X-Brick, and offers configurations of up to eight 40TB X-Bricks.
As the fastest-growing product in Dell EMC’s history customers are increasingly choosing XtremIO over competing all-flash arrays for its ease-of-use and unique architecture that enables consolidation of mixed tier-1 workloads while delivering consistent and predictable performance at scale. Thousands of customers have deployed XtremIO to take advantage of its always-on, always inline data services (e.g. deduplication and compression); enterprise-class availability, as well as integrated Copy Data Management (iCDM) that enables customers to accelerate and improve IT and business productivity.
Although XtremIO makes Dell EMC #1 in AFA market share according to IDC, it’s just one of several products in the company’s all-flash portfolio. Earlier this year, Dell EMC also launched brand-new all-flash products including VMAX All-Flash, Unity, and DSSD, offering customers a compelling and comprehensive portfolio of all-flash enterprise storage products on the market. We believe each of these new all-flash solutions will help expand Dell EMC’s leadership position by addressing new market segments and helping customers tackle almost any data center use case, providing customers the Widest choice of AFA in the industry in the industry.
2016 is the year of all-flash and Dell EMC all-flash product ecosystem is built to accelerate mission-critical workloads.
