At EMC World, EMC announced the general availability of a Virtual VNX storage environment that deploys on VMware vSphere - vVNX Community Edition.
The vVNX Community Edition (also referred to as vVNX) provides a flexible storage alternative
for test and development environments. Users are able to quickly provision a vVNX on general
purpose server hardware, which can result in reduced infrastructure costs and a quicker rate of
deployment.
Both existing and new VNX users can benefit from the vVNX. Existing VNX users are able to utilize existing third-party server hardware in their test/dev environments, while new and curious users can use vVNX to try out newer functionality as well as APIs before purchasing a VNXe or VNX.
You can obtain the vVNX on EMC Product Download page,
