Emulex OneCommand® Vision 2.0 Takes Silver in the SearchStorage.com 'Products of the Year' Awards
OneCommand Vision 2.0 Honored with Silver Award in the Storage Management Tools Category
COSTA MESA, Calif., February 16, 2012 – Emulex Corporation (NYSE:ELX) today announced that Emulex OneCommand® Vision 2.0 was selected as one of the 2011 Products of the Year by the editors of TechTarget's Storage Media Group. OneCommand Vision 2.0 received a silver award in the Storage Management Tools category based on innovation, performance, ease of integration into existing environments, ease of use and manageability, functionality and value. Specifically, OneCommand Vision 2.0 was lauded by judges as a "very useful analytical performance tool that requires no additional hardware," and for its ability to look "at performance problems the way users do -- from the server out, end-to-end."
"We are honored to be recognized by the editors of TechTarget for OneCommand Vision, the first I/O management tool that proactively monitors I/O from the application's perspective," said Shaun Walsh, vice president of marketing, Emulex. "OneCommand Vision was designed to help today's data centers cope with the increased utilization impact that server virtualization and cloud computing have on I/O availability and performance. OneCommand Vision proactively manages application-view I/O performance throughout the system and escalates any bottlenecks within the end-to-end path, something that is not addressed by traditional siloed resource management tools."
Emulex OneCommand Vision is an intelligent application that provides proactive I/O management within data center and cloud environments, ensuring application performance for critical lines of business. OneCommand Vision gives IT administrators the ability to maximize I/O performance, availability, and utilization by monitoring and analyzing end-to-end I/O latency, various protocol events and other critical performance metrics. With cutting-edge LUN service level agreement (SLA) management, OneCommand Vision delivers increased scalability, usability improvements, custom alerting as well as exceptional operating system (OS) and hypervisor support.
The awards were judged by the Storage magazine-SearchStorage.com editorial staff, in conjunction with a team of users, industry experts, analysts and consultants. To read the full narrative about Emulex's award, please visit TechTarget's 2011 Products of the Year page.
