EMC wants to make OpenStack easy for its storage customers.

Of this trio, Mirantis, a pure-play OpenStack company, is the first with a ready to go reference architecture. Its Mirantis OpenStack 6.0 is certified with the EMC VNX, EMC XtremIO, and EMC ScaleIO storage platforms. With it, cloud architects, cloud operators and IT administrators can build enterprise-class, scalable, and multi-tenant OpenStack clouds using EMC storage products.

As part of the certification, EMC and Mirantis have delivered a reference architecture. This is the first to publish under EMC’s OpenStack Reference Architecture Program. It demonstrates how to use EMC storage systems, Mirantis OpenStack, and Cinder block storage drivers together in an OpenStack environment.
