EMC Corporation, acquired by Dell Technologies in 2016 and now operating as Dell EMC, builds enterprise storage, data management and data protection platforms — ECS/ObjectScale object storage, Unity, VNX, PowerMax (VMAX lineage), PowerScale (Isilon) and PowerFlex (ScaleIO). Two management APIs are profiled: the ECS Management REST API and the Unisphere REST API. Both are appliance APIs served on port 4443 and 8443 by hardware the customer owns, so there is no EMC-operated endpoint, no API key, no plan and no rate limit — a fact that shapes every artifact in this repo. ECS is multi-protocol, implementing the Amazon S3, OpenStack Swift, EMC Atmos, EMC CAS, HDFS and NFSv3 interfaces, which means an S3-speaking application integrates by changing an endpoint rather than writing a connector. No OpenAPI is publicly downloadable: Dell publishes references on developer.dell.com, but the portal is a client-rendered SPA whose specification API returns HTTP 401 to anonymous callers, so this profile is built from EMC's own published client libraries on github.com/EMCECS and github.com/dell.
EMC publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Cloud Infrastructure, Data Management, Data Protection, Enterprise Storage, and Object Storage.
EMC’s developer surface includes documentation, support, authentication, changelog, sandbox, API reference, engineering blog, and 30 more developer resources.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/emc: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

on port 4443 by the customer''s own ECS or ObjectScale cluster, so there is no EMC-operated host. The previous value (https://ecs.example.com:4443)

reason: no-machine-readable-spec
detail: 'Enrichment completed with real harvested artifacts, but no machine-readable contract could be obtained: developer.dell.com
renders its API references client-side and its specification backend returns HTTP 401 to every anonymous request, so the
ECS and Unisphere OpenAPIs are portal-gated rather than published. The API surface recorded here was reconstructed from
EMC''s own first-party client libraries instead.'
