The EMC Unity™ All Flash product line sets new standards for storage with compelling simplicity, modern design, affordable prices, and flexible deployments – to meet the needs of resource-constrained IT professionals in large or small companies.

If you are looking for raw power and absolute simplicity in a small footprint, if you are cost-conscious and need the best from the best, EMC Unity All Flash is for you. Designed for flash with all-inclusive software, Unity All Flash delivers consistent performance with low response times and is the perfect fit for your mixed applications, unified storage and Remote-Office-Branch-Office (ROBO) requirements.

IT professionals are struggling with the ever-changing demands of their jobs – including storage management. They are experiencing data growth like never before and IT budgets are under extreme pressure. This is especially evident in the midmarket, where IT professionals are wearing many hats and becoming generalists - handling servers, networking, mobile devices, desktops, virtualization, and storage – so they are spread extremely thin. These days, IT generalists need simple, modern, affordable, and flexible storage technology to simplify and automate.

• Simple: Data growth is increasing but the IT department is not - therefore you need storage technology that automates many tasks and helps get the job done. You cannot spend time becoming a storage expert or reading a manual - it must be intuitive and simple to use.
• Modern: You need the latest technology so that you have the power to manage the latest workloads. In 2015, all flash became a requirement. So systems must be designed with flash in mind and leverage the latest data management and mobility technologies - you don’t want to get left behind.
• Flexible: Storage solutions should be flexible enough to be repurposed for a variety of different workloads – block, file, databases, virtual environments or even as a backup target. Storage should come in a variety of deployment models from purpose-built all-flash or hybrid configurations to converged infrastructure and even virtual storage appliances.
• Affordable: Storage systems must be affordable to purchase and deliver the best total cost of ownership throughout the life of the system. And it should be cost-effective to run all your workloads on these systems.

Deliver consistent high performance for midrange workloads with EMC Unity 400F all-flash storage. Unity All Flash brings you high performance and low latency across a broad range of SAN and NAS use cases.

EMC Unity redefines simple, modern, affordable, and flexible primary storage for the midmarket. Its modern architecture is designed for flash and rich data services, in a footprint starting at 2U. High-density SSD technology adds to performance and value.

Unity unified storage comes standard with support for file and block, point-in-time snapshots, local and remote data replication, and built-in encryption. You’ll also have deep integration with VMware, Microsoft, and OpenStack ecosystems.

EMC Unity 400F arrays save time for the busy IT generalist. Daily support is easier with a sleek HTML5 interface, cloud-enabled management dashboard, and proactive assistance through EMC's automated remote support.
