Upgrading Product Operating Environment with Remote Proactive Services
First off you’re going to think – “Hold on a second, what exactly is Product Operating Environment”. You might need to head over to Product Warranty and Services Descriptions for a refresher but in more specific terms it’s your Symmetrix Microcode, Isilon OneFS, VNX Block/File OE, VPLEX GeoSynchrony etc. Referred to in many contracts as ‘Core Software’ or more informally as product ‘Code Upgrades’. Aside: I highly recommend reviewing the Target Codes and Adoption Rates on Online Support.
Ok, now you get it but next question is Who/What is Remote Proactive Services right? Well, those who’ve been around for a while might remember us as RCM but if you don’t then not to worry, In a nutshell Remote Proactive Services is an EMC Customer Service team that specializes in performing core software upgrades remotely, offering the service for a significant part of the EMC product portfolio – Symmetrix, VMAX3, VNX, VNXe, Isilon, XtremIO, VPLEX, Recoverpoint, Clariion, Celerra, Avamar, AER, Connectrix, Centera and ESRS.
