EMC Storage Solutions

PlanetEd Technologies is an EMC Velocity2 Partner, providing advanced storage solutions for your VMware or Windows environment. Applications today require an abundance of disk space, enough to annoy a server administrator who is constantly adding large capacity drives to server systems. Users are storing more data than ever, and disk space is treated as a commodity. Don't sweat an "upgrade" for additional server disk capacity. Instead, choose an EMC storage solution.

When it comes to your VMware virtualization infrastructure, a shared storage solution is required. Why not trust your critical data to the reliable, affordable range of EMC storage solutions?

EMC has a full range of storage enclosures to meet any budget, from the entry level CLARiiON AX4-5, to the mid-range CLARiiON CX4-120, to Celerra NAS systems, to practically limitless Symmetrix V-Max systems. Couple your storage array with a Cisco SAN solution for extremely fast and resilient Fibre Channel storage networks, or a Gigabit or 10-Gigabit Ethernet switch for super-fast iSCSI storage networking.

Focus on VMware View 4

VMware announced November 9, 2009 the new version of VMware View, formerly Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). Besides full support for running virtual desktops on the new vSphere platform, VMware View brings with it rich media that other VDI makers cannot deliver using the Remote Desktop Protocol.

VMware has partnered with Terradici systems to integrate the PC over IP protocol (PCoIP) which overcomes obstacles faced in many desktop deployments where streaming media and audio are not delivered in step from the Virtual Machine to the desktop.With PC over IP, your end users will have a solid, rich media experience.

Common reasons for using Virtual Desktops include:
1. Extending the life of existing desktops by moving the processing and memory resources of the desktop to server class hardware
2. Additional security features by having the Operating System and all of its files residing in a central location, rather than on individual desktops
3. Reduce costs by deploying workstations from a single location
