Dell EMC VPLEX – Product Analysis

Note: Evaluator Group research of Storage Virtualization has been discontinued. The following Product Analysis has been archived and is no longer being maintained for updates as of January 2023.

VPLEX leverages Dell EMC’s common hardware design now employed in the VNX and the Symmetrix VMAX. The hardware has the identical form factor, with I/O connection differences from the other products. The embedded software (firmware) running on VPLEX is known as GeoSynchrony. The distributed caching design of VPLEX originated with startup YottaYotta, which was acquired by Dell EMC in September 2008.

VPLEX systems may be joined together into an architecture that joins or federates multiple systems together. Federation is also known as loose clustering or a shared nothing cluster. This type of architecture allows a single copy of data to be shared, accessed, or relocated anywhere within the federation, regardless of location. Each node in the VPLEX system maintains a map of where data is located. No data or resources are shared between the clustered nodes; instead, the mapping table provides a reference to where specific data is located.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
