Dell EMC VNX is Dell EMC’s midrange enterprise storage array product line.
History[edit]
In 2011, EMC introduced the new VNX series of unified storage disk arrays intended to combine and replace both CLARiiON and Celerra products. Internally the VNX is labeled the CX5.[1] In early 2012, both CLARiiON and Celerra were discontinued.
The new suite of VNX SAN/NAS arrays included three product lines: an entry-level VNXe,[2][3] the VNX5000 series and the VNX7000 series. The new VNX line was marketed as the only storage system offering automated file and block sub-LUN tiering using its FAST technology.[4]
In early 2012, with development continuing on the VNX lines, both CLARiiON and Celerra were discontinued. Development efforts in 2012 and 2013 included a strong focus on supporting data warehousing applications and multicore architectures, culminating in MCx, billed by some as the second generation of VNX. The massive hyperthreading enabled by multicore architectural support led to significant improvements in caching, file IOPS and database transaction rates.[5] In 2014, MCx support was added to the VNXe line.[6]
