EMC ESI with Microsoft Applications

EMCs ESI, it's FREE!!!!

A few weeks back I recorded a series of short videos that showcase the ease of which you can extend your applications direct from EMCs FREE Storage Integration Suite (ESI). These are short sub 90 second videos that each focus on only one particular feature provided through the ESI console.  As part of our application stack value prop this is a great example of what EMC can provide for a customer and of course, it is FREE!

ESI is like EMCs glue into the Microsoft ecosystem and includes:

• 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 (SQL AlwaysOn and FC coming in a few weeks)

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
