PowerScale

Dell EMC PowerScale

The amount of unstructured data is increasing. Various research agencies outline the expectation that the amount of unstructured data will continue to grow in the coming years. This continuing increase, is precisely why it is important to set up an IT environment that grows with this.The Dell EMC PowerScale storage systems are built to handle unstructured data in a efficient way.

The PowerScale platform is the solution for unstructured data with broad multi-protocol support. From S3 for applications that uses object storage to the more traditional protocols such as: NFS, SMB and HDFS. PowerScale bridges the gap between legacy and the future of unstructured data storage. The ease with which the Powerscale platform can be scaled up, makes it a very future-proof investment.
Besides, with the high-end combination of OneFS and the Full-Flash storage nodes, which are  based on Dell EMC PowerEdge servers, a PowerScale cluster easily delivers 15.8 million IOPS.

The high number of IOPS also makes the Dell EMC PowerScale systems ideal for big-data analytics, digital media, AI and machine learning applications.
