Do you have anything like a ballpark figure for your budget?  As a customer with some VNX/VNX2 experience, looking at your IOPS figures I would like to say that a VNX2/5600 would be the right model to shoot for if you needed a single array solution with some headroom for growth.  I would want a significant amount of FAST Cache to help with read/write bursts and hot-spots.  Your Oracle and VMWare workloads, as described, require peaks of ~1250 IOPS per TB.  That suggests mixing at least some SSDs in with some smaller (300GB/600GB) 10/15k spindles in one or more pools.  All flash for these would be awesome, all spinning disk with just fast cache above it would be challenging...so Hybrid suggests itself.  I would likely configure 2TB or bigger NL-SAS drives into RAID groups for your archive environment.  EMC has recently introduced 16Gb FC I/O cards to this line; if you were building from scratch I would use 16Gb switches, HBAs, and storage ports, if not, I would start buying 16Gb from here on out so that you are positioned to benefit from it once all three parts are in place.
Hello, I need a vnx array for 3 environments in an enterprise organization, I want an FC connection  a. Oracle DB (Block size : 8k), iops 30,000 at peak, Read/write ratio 60%/40% 10TB b. VMWare Virtual Environment - 20,000 iops at peak, R/W ratio 80%/20% 30TB c. Archive Environment - Static Data, High performance is not required, 100TB  Please consider following  1. Array model 2. Disk types 3. Pool Configuration (Type and How) 4. Connectivity to SAN switches
