For companies looking to:

1. Reduce Costs with the ability to scale-out storage (up to 2 PB - Seamlessly scale from 48 to 2,400 drives)
2. Implement and better utilize high availability
3. Utilize ultra-fast Enterprise Flash drives
4. Improve compliance efforts and reduce risk with integrated  RSA Security technology

then take a good look at <a href="http://www.emc.com/products/detail/hardware/symmetrix-v-max.htm">EMC's Symmetrix V-Max</a>.

V-Max brings about a revolutionary new architecture, Virtual Matrix Architecture. This provides the foundation to scale to hundreds of petabytes for capacity, supporting thousands of servers, and millions of IOPS delivered to that capacity, all flexibly deployed throughout a data center and be controlled through a single administrative vantage point.

Here are some of the highlights:

1. Provides an entry point into high-end storage, delivering high levels of performance and availability in a small footprint for open systems environments

2. Can be configured with 96 to 2,400 drives for a maximum capacity of 2 petabytes. This can be non-disruptively scale from one to eight V-Max Engines.

3. Supports a range of drive options from Enterprise Flash to Fibre Channel to SATA.

4. Can reduce labor and risk by auto-provisioning (auto-discover hotst, map &amp; mask at group level, &amp; new masking wizard helps to simplify the process)

5. Delivers independent host-addressable, local point in time copies with TimeFinder

6. Enables no data loss at an out-of-region site while lowering costs with Symmetrix Remote Data Facility (SRDF)
