EMC File Virtualization Solutions comprise both technology and assessment and design services to help your IT organization get the most from its network-attached storage (NAS) investments. Simplify management and optimize the efficiency, data protection, and performance of network-attached storage.

File virtualization is a key enabling technology for implementing information lifecycle management (ILM) and managing the explosive growth of unstructured data storage.

Key Benefits

Capacity management — Find and resolve capacity issues, and balance storage utilization.
File management — Automatically identify and archive static files based on policies—to reduce TCO and streamline backup and recovery.
Global namespace management — Centralize management and synchronization of namespace services across distributed Windows and Unix environments — enabling multiple filesystems to appear as a single virtual filesystem.
Migration and consolidation — Enable administrators to move files transparently without affecting end users or applications.
Performance management — Identify and address bottlenecks and hotspots.
Synchronous IP replication — Replicate selected directories synchronously between locations to protect critical data.
Tiered storage management — Use frequency-of-access data to identify unstructured data for relocation to lower-cost, near-line storage.
