HOPKINTON, Mass. -- EMC Corporation, the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, today announced accelerated adoption of its EMC Rainfinity Global File Virtualization and EMC Rainfinity File Management Appliance solutions. Meanwhile, a new study released by technology research firm TheInfoPro shows that EMC Rainfinity remains the #1 in use file virtualization technology.

Rainfinity continues to accelerate its penetration into enterprises globally on the strength of its pioneering file virtualization capabilities for multi-vendor NAS (network-attached storage) environments and is being used to virtualize petabytes of customer information in a wide range of industries and operating environments.
