Α new era has emerged in the realm of IT, driven by the surge in data and major technological innovations. Many enterprises are teetering on the brink of digital eminence, yet face formidable obstacles. Data extends its reach across varied locations, spanning from edge to data centers, traversing the expanse of public clouds. IT teams grapple with all kinds of workloads, ranging from traditional applications to edge analytics, all the while pursuing simplicity, agility, and cost-effectiveness.
Dell PowerStore is designed to tackle all the challenges of the data era. An intelligent, adaptable, and continuously modern storage platform complimented by a rich ecosystem of pioneering features such as native integration with PowerProtect DD, Dynamic AppsON, seamless integration with CloudIQ and deep integration with leading containerization and management frameworks. Features that support businesses address their needs and lead competition.
Protect your data locally and remotely
PowerStore’s tight integration with PowerProtect DD physical or virtual appliances empowers you to create a robust, secure, and encrypted cloud backup in the blink of an eye, as quick as 90 seconds[1]. You can take command of backups and restores directly from the user-friendly PowerStore Manager UI, waving goodbye to the need for a dedicated backup server.
All these are provided with zero impact on your application hosts and big savings for your overall costs with a typical 65:1 data reduction[2]. Additionally, MultiCloud Data Services transforms your on-premises PowerStore infrastructure into a hybrid cloud solution for disaster recovery, test/dev, and distributed high-performance computing.
Dynamic AppsON
With the introduction of Dynamic AppsON, the advanced storage and data management of PowerStore combine with the benefits of VxRail dynamic nodes (compute-only systems) for improved simplicity and scalability.
Our tightly integrated “better together” solution helps customers to scale storage or compute independently according to business requirements.
Dynamic AppsON enables VxRail environments with access to the efficiency, data protection, and resiliency of PowerStore, dramatically increasing deployment flexibility.
PowerStore environments can quickly expand compute power for intensive workloads and also make its lifecycle management much simpler via the VxRail HCI System Software.
The VxRail HCI System Software is the digital assistant of your IT team for seamless automation and orchestration, streamlining the deployment process and making day-to-day operational tasks a breeze. This translates to a significant reduction in the overall IT Operational Expenditure (OpEx) needed to keep your business innovating.
Your IT team can much more easily handle resource utilization and decrease management efforts thanks to the innovation of Dynamic AppsON.
Programmable Infrastructure
PowerStore’s intelligence can help you drastically simplifying your overall IT ecosystem. By harnessing the prowess of a robust REST API and seamlessly integrating with leading orchestration frameworks, it takes center stage in revolutionizing application development.
DevOps users, brace yourselves for a paradigm shift. PowerStore empowers you to condense deployment timelines from days to mere seconds[3]. How? By provisioning directly from Kubernetes, leveraging the platform’s Ansible, Terraform, and Container Storage Interface (CSI) plug-in integrations.
The magic doesn’t stop there. The inclusion of Dell Container Storage Modules (CSMs) enriches Kubernetes environments with additional enterprise storage functionalities, catering to the demands of cloud-native workloads.
We designed PowerStore as an intelligent storage platform that adapts to any future. It doesn’t just address your storage needs, it encompasses you with an ecosystem of innovative features, to stay in front of the curve and boost your growth.
Integration with CloudIQ
The integration of CloudIQ with Dell PowerStore, provides organizations a powerful toolset to monitor, analyze, and secure their infrastructure. CloudIQ is totally cloud based, securely residing in Dell’s servers, so that you don’t need for you to install or maintain it.
An integral component of Dell Technologies’ ecosystem, CloudIQ, is a powerful software solution with numerous benefits, combining proactive monitoring, machine learning, and predictive analytics to provide businesses with actionable insights. Additionally, CloudIQ supports you in fortifying defenses against cybersecurity threats like ransomware and other malware attacks.
