Study Affirms EMC # 1 Deepest Integration for VMware EMC #1 For Third Consecutive Year in Wikibon Study of Integration Value Across All Categories for VMware vSphere Environments

EMC for the third year in a row the #1 storage vendor

Ranked EMC #1 as the most integrated storage for Vmware

VNX scored better than other storage vendors in the study.

VNX was #1 in 3 categories – general, block-only and file storage.

EMC VMAX ranked #1 array for Tier 1 storage.

The study ranked EMC VNX and VMAX highest for security.
