ISV Network-Attached Storage Specialty

The ISV Network-Attached Storage Specialty of the EMC Velocity² Technology and ISV Program is designed for independent software vendor (ISV) and systems vendor partners with products that are complementary to EMC network-attached storage systems—and who want to leverage the power and range of the industry-leading EMC Celerra family of products. Partners become members of the Network-Attached Storage Specialty when they commit to integrating their applications with Celerra by licensing one or more application programming interfaces (APIs) or commit to testing and supporting the interoperability of their products with Celerra.

Joining the specialty

With the ISV Network-Attached Storage Specialty, you can gain integration or interoperability with Celerra systems, enabling you to:

• Increase the value of your products to our mutual customers.
• Enhance your product functionality over your competition.
• Exploit EMC product functionality and reliability.
• Increase your market opportunity through EMC's worldwide customer base.

With your enhanced products, our mutual customers can:

• Implement solutions quickly so they can focus on their core business rather than on testing, validating, and customizing disparate solutions.
• Save time and costs by eliminating the need for "home-grown" development and support.
• Reduce risk and increase efficiency because all integrated solutions are fully tested, jointly supported, and maintained.
• Achieve a scalable, highly available information storage infrastructure.
• Receive better support through a cooperative support agreement between the two companies.
