The CLARiiON storage array is the EMC mid-tier storage offering which delivers enterprise quality features and functionality. This does not mean that the CLARiiON range cannot meet with the most demanding of storage environments, but rather the CLARiiON range meets with a different set of criteria than the traditional "high end" storage solution. The CLARiiON FC5500 was the first full Fibre Channel storage system. It offered both frontend and back-end Fibre Channel connectivity. The CX4 series is the fourth generation of the CLARiiON CX line of storage systems. Each generation has added enhancements to performance, availability, and scalability, while the high level architecture has remained constant. This allows interoperability between generations and helps preserve the customers investment in hardware, software, knowledge, and skills.
