The connection to both private and public clouds give enterprises agility and unlimited scalability of the public cloud while allowing them to retain control and security through the private cloud. ![](https://www.storagereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/StorageReview-EMC-All-Cloud.jpg) Business demands are in a state of flux. In order to deal with these rapid changes IT is looking toward both the public cloud (high scalability low cost) and the private cloud (controllable and reliable) to augment their data centers. EMC is announcing cloud connectivity of several of its solutions giving IT increased flexibility as well as new tiers to place data on. These new solutions will be easy-to-deploy and easy-to manage. Along with the cloud connected solutions, EMC is also rolling out new data protection features to protect data wherever it is stored and regardless of what happens to it. EMC is integrating existing solutions with the cloud as well as introducing new solutions. These new solutions and integrations include: - Tiering Data to/from the Cloud – EMC’s VMAX and VNX storage platforms deliver simple, automated tiering to and from private and public clouds.  EMC is further extending the integration reach of VMAX with enhancements to its FAST.X tiering solution, enabling customers to achieve lower TCO by automatically tiering to public clouds from both EMC and non-EMC storage.  By simply connecting VMAX to an EMC CloudArray and a SAN and a network switch, customers can immediately connect the power of the cloud to their data centers and automate the allocation of data to storage targets on-premise and in the cloud, based on their own service level objectives. - Smaller organizations with a lower budget are able to achieve similar functionality on a smaller scale by substituting VNX for VMAX in their infrastructure configuration and adding EMC VPLEX.  VPLEX cloud tiering extends intelligent data mobility services to the cloud, enabling VNX to non-disruptively tier data in and out of public and private clouds. - Both VMAX and VNX with cloud tiering now offer expanded support for private and public cloud providers.  EMC now supports VMware vCloud Air, Microsoft Azure, Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Platform.  - Protecting Data to/from the Cloud – CloudBoost 2.0 seamlessly extends customers’ existing EMC data protection solutions, including the Data Protection Suite and Data Domain, to elastic, resilient, scale-out cloud storage, enabling customers to leverage the economic benefits of the public cloud for long-term data retention. CloudBoost now features enhanced overall performance, scalability and manageability, making it easy for customers to cache data locally and move it to the cloud. CloudBoost offers 3x faster throughput and 15x more data capacity than previous versions. Furthermore, CloudBoost enables deduplication and incremental restores simultaneously, without the need for complex cloud compute infrastructure.  - Protecting Data in the Cloud – Spanning by EMC now features enhanced restore and security capabilities along with new regional deployment within the European Union. Spanning Backup for Salesforce delivers enhanced SaaS data restoration capabilities making it easier for customers to quickly and easily restore lost or deleted data. And, Spanning's new European data destination option helps organizations comply with European data sovereignty laws and regulations. - Data Protection as a Service – EMC service providers and EMC customers who deploy data protection as a Service (DPaaS) in their own private clouds will benefit from new features being introduced into the latest version of the Data Domain operating system DD OS 5.7, including enhanced capacity management, secure multi-tenancy, and a dense shelf configuration that dramatically reduces total cost of ownership. - Simplified Data Protection Management – Finally, EMC is announcing the next generation of its NetWorker data protection software.  NetWorker 9 introduces a new universal policy engine designed that automates and simplifies the data protection process regardless of where the data resides.  Using the policy engine, EMC customers will be able to automate the process of moving protection data through tiers of storage, with protected data stored locally for immediate access and cold data systematically handed off to more cost-efficient cloud targets. Additionally, NetWorker 9 now also integrates with EMC ProtectPointTM and delivers integrated block-level protection for Microsoft and Linux environments. - Extending Data Lakes to the Cloud – Last week, EMC announced [innovations for Data Lake 2.0](https://www.storagereview.com/emc_announces_innovations_for_data_lake_20) including EMC CloudPools, a new feature for EMC Isilon that allows customers to extend their cold data to public and private clouds. CloudPools enables Isilon to tier data seamlessly to public clouds such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Virtustream and private clouds with EMC ECS or a remote Isilon cluster. The tiering happens without the need for a cloud gateway, providing cost-effective, easy and flexible hybrid cloud capability. **Availability** All of the above mention solutions are available immediately.  [EMC main site](http://www.emc.com/en-us/index.htm?fromGlobalSelector) [Discuss this story](http://forums.storagereview.com/index.php/topic/38297-emc-sets-out-to-connect-the-entire-data-center-to-the-cloud/) [Sign up for the StorageReview newsletter](https://www.storagereview.com/storagereview_newsletter_signup) **Engage with StorageReview** [Newsletter](https://www.storagereview.com/storage_newsletter) |  [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/user/StorageReview "Opens in a new window") | Podcast  [iTunes](https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/storagereview-com-storage-reviews/id1060681115 "Opens in a new window")/ [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/1y6VnznABhHeOSMOmbDTz0 "Opens in a new window") |  [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/storagereview/ "Opens in a new window") |  [Twitter](https://twitter.com/storagereview "Opens in a new window") |  [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@storagereview?
