Introducing Dell storage software innovations
More than 500 software advancements across Dell PowerStore,
PowerMax and PowerFlex deliver faster data insights,
better multi-cloud data control and increased cyber resiliency at
no cost to existing customers. These advancements are the latest
examples of Dell storage software innovation following the
introduction of Project Alpine, which will bring the
enterprise capacity, performance and protection of Dell storage
software to public clouds.
"IQVIA uses the power of data science to help customers
accelerate clinical development and healthcare outcomes," said
Ken Boyer, director of global
storage, IQVIA. "Driving transformative outcomes requires an
infrastructure partner just as focused on innovation. Dell
Technologies storage delivers the automation, security, performance
and scale we need as we reimagine life sciences."
Dell PowerStore, the fastest ramping new
architecture in company history, will deliver up to a
50%2 mixed workload performance boost and up to
66%3 greater capacity. Customers can better plan
business continuity strategies with software-only high availability
metro replication configured in as few as five clicks. Additional
software advancements make it possible for organizations to:
- Better support and secure file workloads with file level
retention, native file replication and support for third-party file
monitoring and ransomware protection.
- Take advantage of deeper VMware integrations including improved
VMware vSphere® Virtual Volumes™
(vVols) latency and performance plus simplified disaster recovery
with vVols replication, VM-level snapshots and fast clones.
- Maximize performance of new hardware with end-to-end NVMe
support and increased networking speeds.
Dell PowerMax, the world's most secure, mission-critical
storage,4 will introduce cyber resiliency
advancements including cyber vaults for traditional and mainframe
deployments. CloudIQ ransomware capabilities help detect
cyberattacks early to minimize exposure and speed recovery.
PowerMax now offers up to 65 million secure snapshots to improve
cyber recovery and increases efficiency with new 4:1 data reduction
guarantee.5 Additional software-driven updates help
organizations:
- Increase productivity with automated storage operations such as
multi-array smart provisioning, workload optimization, and health
monitoring and remediation.
- Quickly move data to public clouds with faster cloud snapshot
shipping and recovery, built-in high availability to minimize
downtime and easy restore of cloud-based object storage data.
- Experience double the performance6 with up to 50%
better response times7 in demanding application and
mainframe environments on two new NVMe-based PowerMax models.
Anytime Upgrade customers are eligible for non-disruptive
upgrades.
Dell PowerFlex software-defined infrastructure will
consolidate traditional and modern workloads with new file services
that allow for unified block and file capabilities on a single
platform. PowerFlex simplifies multi-cloud and DevOps with the
broadest file and block8 support for all major
Kubernetes and container orchestration platforms from Amazon,
Google, Microsoft, Red Hat, SUSE and VMware. Additional updates
allow customers to:
- Realize greater TCO savings by consolidating traditional and
containerized workloads using unified block and file storage
services across bare metal and virtualized deployments.
- Simplify PowerFlex deployment through NVMe-over-TCP
connectivity with consistent standards-based storage
networking.
- Streamline operations with new unified compute, storage and
system lifecycle management capabilities within PowerFlex Manager
software.
