EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) today announced that EMC's VNXe3150 unified storage system, combining 50% more performance and capacity per rack unit with the simplicity for which the award-winning VNXe^® line is known, is now generally available worldwide. Fully optimized for virtualization, VNXe3150 retains its industry-leading simplicity for IT generalists in small to medium-sized businesses, as well as departments in enterprises and government.  The VNXe3150 delivers these new capabilities, and more, at sub-$10K entry level list pricing.

With the availability of the VNXe3150, entry-level storage customers can maximize their virtual environments with added performance and capacity. VNXe3150 supports the move to a virtualized environment through integrations with Citrix XENServer, Microsoft Hyper V and VMware vSphere, providing support in any hypervisor environment. Additionally, VNXe3150 is a key component of EMC's VSPEX Proven Infrastructure, which offers a wide range of choices for industry-leading virtualization, server, network, storage and data protection for EMC customers. The VNXe3150 also features ease of use with EMC's industry-acclaimed Unisphere^® storage management interface.

VNXe3150 is sold exclusively through EMC's Velocity™ Partner Program.
