Full Story:  
EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) today introduced new foundational offerings designed to support and accelerate customers' digital transformation initiatives and address the four major pillars of the modern data center – flash, scale-out, software-defined and cloud-enabled. New offerings include the new Native Hybrid Cloud™ (NHC™) platform, VCE® VxRack™ System 1000 with Neutrino™ Nodes, and major updates to DSSD™ D5™.

New technology-centric companies born in the digital era are leveraging cloud computing, modern software development techniques and an array of smart connected devices to enter and disrupt almost every industry, delivering radically improved consumer experiences. To respond, more traditional organizations must re-kindle innovation within their own IT teams and build out new modern data center architectures to support them.  These architectures and infrastructure are very different from what resides in most IT environments today.

EMC Executive Quote:  
David Goulden, EMC Information Infrastructure CEO  
"There is an explosion of data from connected smart devices as sensors and telemetry are being built into every product imaginable. To compete in the modern digital economy, companies are embarking on digital transformations to exploit this ever-increasing amount of data. The new EMC technologies announced today are designed specifically to underpin these business modernization initiatives."
