EMC Symmetrix DMX-3 Product Guide
Introducing the Symmetrix DMX-3
Supported software applications
Enginuity is what enables simultaneous connection to virtually all
mainframe, UNIX, Windows, iSeries, and Linux platforms—and all
validated in EMC’s interoperability labs. The result: you can do
whatever you want with your information. Centralize it. Re-purpose
it. Consolidate it. Replicate it. Share it. Distribute and manage it. Put
it to work where it’s relevant, anytime without compromise.
Enginuity is the solid foundation of EMC’s storage software
offering—and the driving force behind the operational consistency
and nondisruptive features across Symmetrix.
The software offerings are divided into these categories:
◆ “Tiered Storage Optimization” on page 38
◆ “Storage management” on page 39
◆ “Symmetrix local and remote replication software solutions” on
page 39
◆ “Information mobility” on page 40

Tiered Storage
Optimization
EMC delivered two software products with the latest version of
Enginuity (5772) that optimize performance with multi-tiered
Symmetrix systems. Dynamic Cache Partitioning provides dedicated
memory resource allocation. Symmetrix Priority Controls help
manage multiple application workloads by setting priority levels for
device groups, allowing higher-priority applications to have faster
response times than lower priority applications.
