Dell Technologies, the leader in enterprise storage, announces Dell EMC PowerStore – a modern infrastructure platform built from the ground up with superior technology and expertise to address the challenges of the data era.
“Customers tell us a main obstacle keeping them from achieving their digital transformation initiatives is the constant tug-of-war between supporting the ever-increasing number of workloads–from traditional IT applications to data analytics –and the reality of cost constraints, limitations and complexity of their existing IT infrastructure.” said Dan Inbar, president and general manager, storage, Dell Technologies.
“Dell EMC PowerStore blends automation, next generation technology, and a novel software architecture to deliver infrastructure that helps organisations address these needs.”
Modern Infrastructure for the Data Era Organisations can accelerate decision making, data access and application performance with PowerStore, which is designed for six-nines (99.9999%) availability.
PowerStore simplifies IT infrastructure by supporting a wide range of traditional and modern workloads with its scale-up, scale-out architecture for block, file and VMware vVols.
PowerStore is seven times faster 3 and three times more responsive than previous Dell EMC midrange storage arrays, 4 because of its end-to-end NVMe design and support for Storage Class Memory as persistent storage powered by dual port Intel Optane SSDs.
Customers can save on IT budget and capacity with always-on deduplication, compression and a guaranteed 4:1 data reduction. Machine learning and intelligent automation allows for faster delivery of applications and services with up to 99% less staff time to balance volumes.
Streamlines application development and reduces deployment timeframes from days to seconds, 7 with VMware integration and support for leading management and orchestration frameworks including Kubernetes, Ansible and VMware vRealise Orchestrator.
Built-in machine learning automates labour-intensive processes like initial volume placement, migrations, load balancing and issue resolution.
Dell EMC CloudIQ storage monitoring and analytics software combines machine learning and human intelligence for real-time performance and capacity analysis and historical tracking for a single view of Dell EMC infastructure. Dell Technologies will integrate CloudIQ across the full Dell Technologies infrastructure portfolio for even greater insights.
PowerStore transforms data centre operations and allows organisations to evolve their infrastructure in lockstep with everchanging business needs. PowerStoreOS, the system’s container-based software architecture, enables feature portability, standardisation and rapid time-to-market for new capabilities.
Eric Burgener, research vice president, Infrastructure Systems, Platforms and Technologies Group, IDC “As organisations modernise their IT infrastructure, they must embrace technology that streamlines operations, eliminates complexity and can scale in the face of exponential data growth. By developing Dell EMC PowerStore through an infrastructure-centric lens, the company has created a platform that can tackle today’s IT challenges while being flexible and scalable enough to meet future IT needs.” -- Tradearabia News Service
