VNXe or VNX 10Gb iSCSI
Hi All,
We would like a storage solution for storing and modifying video and images, connect to the storage using a 10Gb iSCSI connectivity, some of the clients are Windows 7 64-bit professional and couple of MAC. What we wish to know will Windows 7 and Mac clients be able to access storage allocated from EMC storage using iSCSI network? if yes how?
Or what storage solution would you recommend?
Appreciate your assistance.
regards,
Samir

Thanks.
Is VNXe has pre-configured pools or is there a way we can create pools as we desire? (pardon me as I'm a newbie to VNXe)

Thanks Dynamox.
So creating shares on VNXe and sharing them with Windows 7 or Mac's will work? there is no fileserver, wish to access the lun/share on the storage from the windows or mac workstations where in a lot of editing takes place.

it's not listed in the matrix but i can't imagine it does not support windows 7, Windows 2008 R2 is listed and it's based on Windows 7.

It's just the Pre-defined pools on the VNXe - you cannot change them or create user defined pools
VNXe is built for ease of use and simplicity - if you need full configurability then go VNX

You don't have the full choices about striping and placement that you have with manual volume management

i think we are talking about different things, you are talking file system management, i am referring to disk pool management
