Small in size, big on capability.

The new entry point into the CLARiiON CX series, the CX300 networked storage system is the most advanced disk array in its class. The CX300 delivers more functionality, more capacity (up to 13 TB), and faster performance than last year's model-at the same low price.

Optimized for cost-effective UNIX, Windows, Linux, and NetWare workgroup solutions, the CX300 scales from 5 to 60 drives. It also delivers best-in-class performance, array-based local replication-and the same Web-based storage management interface as the rest of the CLARiiON CX series.

Best-in-class performance.

Give your users consistent response times. With cached performance of 680 MB per second and 50,000 I/Os per second, the CX300 offers industry-leading performance at an amazingly low price.

Advanced CLARiiON software.

Now you can get high-end software capabilities in an entry-level system. The CX300 offers simple, automated Web-based management and online LUN expansion (metaLUNs) through the EMC Navisphere Management Suite; array-based local replication through SnapView; and dynamic load balancing and multi-path failover with PowerPath software.

Bring offline information online, affordably.

Add low-cost ATA drives to your CX300 array. You'll reduce backup/restore from hours to seconds-and be able to keep more information online, cost-effectively. CLARiiON systems with ATA drives offer superior performance and data availability when compared to tape. And you can mix ATA with Fibre Channel drives in the same array with 100-percent software compatibility.

Easy growth path.

Start small, grow as large as you need to. Unlike any competing product, the CX300 offers data-in-place upgrades to the more powerful CX500 or CX700 systems. And your investment is protected: like the rest of the CX series, the CX300 offers consistent software capabilities among generations and non-disruptive hardware and software upgrades.

The industry's top-rated service and support.

Your CX300 is covered 24x7 with the same top-rated, on-site EMC support as the rest of the CX series. And with CLARiiON Proactive Support-included at no charge-you get automatic monitoring, diagnostics, dial-in, and repair, 24x7, to enhance your CLARiiON investment. CLARiiON Proactive Support helps you ensure high availability by preventing system outages and mitigating performance issues-all while lowering IT staffing costs.
