EMC Rainfinity File Virtualization Appliance - File Management, File Virtualization

Rainfinity File Virtualization Appliance
Simplified network storage management with enterprise-class file virtualization

EMC Rainfinity File Virtualization Appliance dramatically simplifies management and helps you achieve greater efficiency from your networked storage by transparently moving data—including active, open files.

Rainfinity File Virtualization Appliance gives you unprecedented flexibility in minimizing disruption and risk when executing data migration and consolidation projects in multi-protocol NAS environments. You do not need to coordinate with end-users or schedule downtime. You can adjust resources or take action as needed. You eliminate performance issues caused by overburdened file systems. And you balance storage utilization, which lowers total cost of ownership (TCO) and maximizes the value of your storage investment.
