EMC Provides Customers A Path To The Private Cloud

EMC Corp. announced it’s EMC Proven Solutions designed to help Oracle customers gain more efficiencies and cost savings from their IT investments.

These new Proven Solutions utilize EMC fully automated storage tiering (FAST) software to increase IT efficiency for Oracle database environments by reining in infrastructure sprawl, and leverage EMC’s industry-leading storage virtualization, data deduplication, and archiving technologies to dramatically improve hardware utilization, conduct more cost-efficient backup and recovery, and reduce long term storage growth in production environments.

EMC solicits feedback from thousands of mutual EMC and Oracle customers to design innovative Proven Solutions that optimize and protect Oracle software deployments, improve application efficiency, and reduce and control long term growth costs.

“It’s all too easy for storage vendors to get wrapped around the axle of technological brilliance. Yet what really matters to end users is applied technology, and that’s what EMC Proven Solutions approach is all about,” said Mark Peters, Senior Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. “Users demand that key vendors are working beyond academics to deliver practical, proven interoperability and the EMC/Oracle relationship is an example of how this can be taken a step further to optimize the integration of each others’ products to deliver enhanced user value that simultaneously enables a sustainable architecture and reduced costs.”
