back to article Somebody's nightmare? I'm a veteran VNX array with a BADGE

Lenovo has started selling VNX arrays, adding a "VNX5150" to its product line-up. The VNX5100 is an entry-level SAN product that was effectively replaced by the block and file VNX5200 array in September last year. There is still a VNX5100 page on EMC’s website but a linked VNX Hardware Data Sheet PDF omits it from the VNX line …

    IBMs old servers, EMCs old storage. Wonder when they'll start reselling Cisco 3560's and Brocade 200E's?

    That said, the 5100 was pretty popular with telcos in distributed offices. I saw a bunch of them in that role and as far as I know, they are still there. Most people buying them for general usage were pushed towards the 5300 from what I've been told so they could have the option for more FAST cache and file services down the road.

    Hmm...

    In CA, 5150 is code for an involuntary psychiatric hold. Just ask Van Hagar.

    Interesting

    The EMC VNX 5100 did only feature FC, not iSCSI; there be some redesign...
