EMC ViPR Software-Defined Storage

Virtualize storage without compromise

EMC ViPR, the first truly open software-define storage platform, provides true storage virtualization without compromise. ViPR abstracts storage with all its unique capabilities from physical arrays into a single pool of virtual storage. Once virtualized, storage delivery and management is simple.

ViPR automates provisioning by creating pre-defined, policy-driven virtual storage arrays, and delivering self-service access. It centralizes storage management and monitors utilization, performance and health, all through a single interface across physical and virtual storage. Because ViPR is software-defined, you can easily extend it to support non-EMC arrays and integrate with cloud stacks.
