EMC Solutions

Enabler APIs

EMC Solutions Enabler APIs are the storage management

programming interfaces that provide an access mechanism for

managing the Symmetrix

third-party storage, switches, and host

storage resources. They enable the creation of storage management

applications that don’t have to understand the management details of

each piece within the total storage environment.

Note: Contact your local EMC Sales Representative or the EMC Powerlink

website at: http://Powerlink.EMC.com for more information on EMC

storage management APIs
