"The EMC and Microsoft alliance has delivered long-lasting value to customers for more than a decade," said Joe Tucci, chairman, president and CEO, EMC.
"Through the joint investments we are making, we will continue to deliver solutions that enable enterprise customers to meet their business goals today and lay the groundwork for future success." "Microsoft and EMC are committed to working together to create enterprise infrastructure technologies that will help businesses build extremely efficient and agile IT systems," said Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft Corp. As a result, joint customers will benefit from dynamic IT infrastructures that can effectively respond to today’s rapidly changing business requirements and economic constraints.Īt a recently held invitation-only event for CIOs and other IT executives, Joe Tucci and Steve Ballmer discussed how the two companies will continue to deliver value to mutual customers through collaboration including a deeper focus on storage and protection of information in virtualised environments, increased productivity through centralised management of content, and security solutions to prevent data breaches. The two companies are committing to broader and deeper product interoperability and service delivery to address key customer requirements including virtualisation, security and content management through the combination of Microsoft’s data centre solutions and productivity applications with EMC’s information infrastructure solutions and consultancy.

#EMC WINDOWS MANUAL#
It’s still an ugly manual process, but it gets us the data.
#EMC WINDOWS WINDOWS#
It will show the physical drive (which is the Windows number) and the EMC Device #–which is available in PowerPath. You will run this utility from DOS, and use the following flag inq -showvol -sym_wwn. One would think if someone looked under properties of the disk in Windows, you could find the underlying information. Windows storage manager shows me this picture of the disks assigned (note this pic is post fact–the disks have been configured):ĮMC PowerPath shows us the following view:Īs you can see we have two sets of disk numbers, and the numbers in PowerPath the numbers in Windows. These disks were under different policies–so I had to identify them, which would prove difficult.
#EMC WINDOWS INSTALL#
I recently requested a set on LUNs for a new SQL install from my storage admin–I didn’t think about it, but I asked for disks that were the same exact size (200 GB) for both my data files and transaction logs.
As part of this, we are testing different storage configurations and policies and doing some baselining. We are doing some SAN performance testing on the latest EMC VMAX array.
