This morning, EMC is announcing 42 new or updated storage products. That's a lot to consider.
Why 42?
Other than the obvious reference from The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, it's one more than the 41 products we announced at our last MegaLaunch event in early 2011.
I've done my best to look at each group of new or improved products, and share the highlights (as I see them) in an extended series of posts linked below.
I thought in this post I'd share what I think are the big trends motivating all this new R&D.
So much of what we do around storage here at EMC is at significant scale: big, fast, distributed, etc.
People tend to forget that EMC is also very active at the low end of the storage marketplace: you'll find many interesting use cases where even modest products like the VNXe can be too much for the requirements at hand.
I've got a number of good acquaintances in EMC's Iomega group. They're always up to something interesting, and -- of course! -- we all appreciate the "extended evaluation" units they occasionally hand out.
As part of the run up to EMC World 2012, they've got a few significant announcements of their own.
Chuck Hollis VP -- Global Marketing CTO EMC Corporation @chuckhollis
Chuck has been with EMC for 17 years, most of them great.
He enjoys speaking to customer and industry audiences about a variety of technology topics, and -- of course -- enjoys blogging.
He lives in Holliston, MA with his wife, three kids and four dogs when he's not travelling. In his spare time, Chuck is working on his second career as an aging rock musician.
Warning: do not buy him a drink when there is a piano nearby.
I try and write something new 1-2 times per week; less if I'm travelling, more if I'm in the office. Hopefully you'll find the frequency about right!
