EMC touts VMAX Cloud Edition storage offering

A range of options for cloud storage, from fully managed on-premises to public cloud off-premises options are flooding the market

There's an increasingly competitive market for cloud storage options that are managed by providers but hosted on customer sites, providing the security of a behind-the-firewall storage option with the convenience of a managed hardware appliance.

The latest to the market is EMC with its VMAX Cloud Edition, box of storage servers that customers either rent or own that usually sits in their data center, but is managed by EMC. Need more storage capacity? EMC will send you more racks. Need an update to the system software? EMC takes care of it.
