How VPLEX works?
Each VPLEX site has a local VPLEX Cluster and physical storage and hosts are connected to that VPLEX Cluster. The VPLEX Clusters themselves are interconnected across the sites to enable continuous availability. A device is taken from each of the VPLEX Clusters to create a distributed RAID 1 virtual volume.
What is Dell EMC Vplex?
The Dell EMC VPLEX is a network-based, virtualized storage product designed to create high-availability storage between datacenters and to provide the ability to move applications and data between storage environments. VPLEX leverages Dell EMC’s common hardware design employed in the Unity, VNX, and PowerMax/VMAX.
How do I find my Vplex serial number?
How to determine or find the correct Top-Level Assembly (TLA) of a VPLEX instance. Find the TLA number of the cluster. This info is available on the serial number tag attached to the front top of the cabinet frame and on the packing slip.
What is Dell EMC RecoverPoint?
