Introducing the Symmetrix DMX-3
Symmetrix platform and Enginuity operating environment
The Symmetrix DMX hardware architecture (“Symmetrix DMX-3
architecture” on page 53) and the Enginuity
TM
operating
environment are the foundation for the Symmetrix DMX system
storage platform, which consists of the following:
◆ Symmetrix DMX hardware
◆ Enginuity-based operating functions
◆ EMC Solutions Enabler Application Program Interfaces (APIs)
◆ Symmetrix-based applications
◆ Host-based Symmetrix applications
◆ Independent Software Vendor (ISV) applications
Figure 4 on page 29 illustrates the relationships among these software
layers (and Symmetrix hardware).

Enginuity operating
environment
Symmetrix Enginuity is the operating environment for the
Symmetrix DMX systems. Enginuity manages and ensures the
optimal flow and integrity of information through the different
hardware components of the Symmetrix system. Enginuity manages
all Symmetrix operations from monitoring and optimizing internal
data flow, to ensuring the fastest response to the user's requests for
information, to protecting and replicating data.
