Some days ago we unboxed EMC VNXe 3100 SAN and NAS – a cheap* entry level SAN and NAS. We got just DPE (Disk Processor Enclosure) without DAE (Disk Array Enclosure). Below are photos with some descriptions.

* – cheap in SAN context is about $20,000 with remote replication suite (Remote protection suite) included. Actually we got two of them so we can use asynchronous replication.
