EMC and Microsoft Applications Working Together

EMC Storage Integration Suite

I recently recorded a number of demo videos showing off some of the cool capabilities of the EMCs ESI. These videos show simple storage provisioning activities but aligned to applications such as Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint.

ESI is a very cool tool that is available from EMC for FREE (yes you read that correctly) and provides a rich set of capabilities including:

• Simple user console for storage, replication and application management
• Support for Windows, HyperV, vSphere and XenServer
• Powershell library with almost 200 cmdlets
• System Center Orchestrator Integration Pack
• System Center Operations Manager Management Pack
• Hyper-V VSS Provider and associated PowerShell library
• Support for Exchange (up to 2013) including Native and Third party replication (enabled by RecoverPoint)
• Support for Sharepoint and SQL Server
