The Dell PowerMax product family consists of two models: the PowerMax 2500 array and the PowerMax 8500 array. The PowerMax 2500 array provides customers with efficiency and maximum flexibility in a 5U stack height, while the PowerMax 8500 array is designed for massive scale, performance, and IOPS density within a two-floor-tile footprint. Both PowerMax models are based on the Dell Dynamic Virtual Matrix architecture and a version of HYPERMAX OS that was rewritten for the NVMe platform. This HYPERMAX OS version is called PowerMaxOS.
PowerMax arrays are designed to meet the storage capacity and performance requirements of an all-flash enterprise data center. PowerMax products take advantage of the higher-capacity NVMe flash drives that are used in the densest configuration possible. PowerMax technology offers enterprise customers trusted data services along with the simplicity, capacity, and performance that their highly virtualized environments demand, while still meeting the economic needs of traditional storage workloads. Furthermore, the PowerMax platform enables you to deploy applications such as real-time analytics, machine learning, and big data, which require lower storage latency and higher IOPS densities than what was attainable with previous all-flash offerings.
Based on the powerful Dynamic Fabric architecture, the PowerMax offers a powerful yet flexible design to independently grow nodes and storage capacity in increments of a single drive. The PowerMax 2500/8500 servers use Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors and today’s most advanced storage technologies including end-to-end NVMe, InfiniBand 100 Gb/s, dual-ported NVMe flash drives, NVMe/TCP connectivity, and hardware-based data reduction. Each PowerMax model is designed for six nines of data availability and delivers continuously modern storage throughout its product life cycle with the Dell Future-Proof program, Anytime Upgrade, seamless data mobility, and PowerMaxOS upgrades in under six seconds.
In today’s interconnected world, data is the lifeblood of businesses. Data breaches, where sensitive information is stolen, corrupted, or held hostage, can inflict severe financial losses on organizations, often reaching millions of dollars in lost revenue and reputational damage. Recognizing the critical importance of data protection, Dell Technologies has developed the PowerMax storage systems, which are engineered to safeguard customer data with industry-leading cybersecurity measures. Dell's cybersecurity framework aligns with the National Institute of Standards and Technologies (NIST) cybersecurity framework, emphasizing the following core principles:
Identification and protection: The best cybersecurity strategies begin with prevention. The PowerMax is purpose-built to prevent unauthorized access to system resources. Each model incorporates intrinsic security features and comprehensive access controls to safeguard company data. These features include:
The following figure shows the essential features of the PowerMax 2500 and 8500 arrays:

The PowerMax 2500 and PowerMax 8500 are built on modular building blocks called “nodes,” similar to the PowerBrick from the previous-generation PowerMax. Nodes contain the primary compute elements (CPU and memory) of the second-generation systems. Each second-generation PowerMax system has at least two nodes or a “node pair.” Each node has dual Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, 24 DDR4 DIMM slots, and two 64-lane PCIe switches for front-end connections, among other advanced features.
The storage component for the PowerMax 2500 and 8500 is called the Dynamic Media Enclosure (DME). Each DME has 48 top loading slots for 2.5” U.2 based NVMe flash drives. Drives are side-loaded into the DME slots. The side-loading architecture provides better air flow for significantly improved cooling characteristics. This results in a considerably lower watts/GB of capacity ratio, greatly enhancing the overall efficiency of the system, especially at scale.
The second-generation PowerMax platform architecture has also been designed with sustainability and efficiency as a core tenant. As a result, both the PowerMax 2500 and 8500 are the most energy-efficient enterprise-level storage platforms Dell has ever produced. The second-generation platform delivers over 5x the effective capacity per watt consumed (PBe/watt) over the previous PowerMax generation.
The PowerMax 2500 can scale up to two node pairs and two DMEs, while the PowerMax 8500 can scale up to eight-node pairs and up to eight DMEs.

All PowerMax arrays come preloaded with PowerMaxOS software. Software for the PowerMax system is available in different packages, each with additional optional features. For up-to-date information about these options, see the Dell Next Generation PowerMax Family Overview.
The Symmetrix Remote Data Facility (SRDF) is considered a gold standard for remote replication in the enterprise data center. Up to 70 percent of Fortune 500 companies use SRDF to replicate their critical data to geographically dispersed data centers throughout the world. SRDF offers customers the ability to replicate tens of thousands of volumes, with each volume being replicated to a maximum of four different locations globally.
SRDF is available in three types:
Every PowerMax array includes the local replication data service TimeFinder SnapVX, which creates low-impact snapshots. Local replication with SnapVX starts by creating a snapshot, a pointer-based structure that preserves a point-in-time (PIT) view of a source volume. Snapshots do not require target volumes. Instead, they share back-end allocations with the source volume and other snapshots of the source volume, and only consume additional space when the source volume is changed. A single source volume can have up to 256 snapshots.
You can access a PIT snapshot from a host by linking it to a host-accessible volume called a target. Target volumes are standard thin volumes. Up to 1,024 target volumes can be linked to the snapshots of a single source volume. By default, targets are linked in a no-copy mode. This functionality significantly reduces the number of writes to the back-end flash drives. It eliminates the need to perform a full-volume copy of the source volume during the unlink operation to continue using the target volume for host I/O.
PowerMax arrays use the Adaptive Compression Engine (ACE) for inline hardware compression. The ACE data-reduction method provides a negligible performance impact with the highest space-saving capability. PowerMax technology uses inline hardware-based data deduplication. This method identifies repeated data patterns on the array and stores those that are repeated once only, thus preventing the consumption of critical PowerMax system core resources and limiting performance impact.
PowerMax File is fully integrated into the PowerMax 2500 and 8500 arrays. PowerMax File provides flexible and secure multiprotocol file sharing (NFS 3.0, 4.0/4.1, and CIFS/SMB 3.0) and multiple file server identities (CIFS and NFS servers). PowerMax File offers a reliable, highly available, scale-out, high performance, 64-bit file system and runs as a container instance inside each File guest.
Consolidated block and file storage reduces costs and complexity while increasing business agility. Customers can use data services across block and file storage including storage provisioning, dynamic host I/O Limits, and Data at Rest Encryption. For more information, see the following Dell PowerMax Info Hub.
SAP has certified Dell PowerMax storage arrays as meeting all performance and functional requirements for SAP HANA TDI deployments. Therefore, customers can use PowerMax arrays for SAP HANA TDI deployments in a fully supported environment using their existing data center infrastructures.
The Dell SAP engineering team performed tests on a PowerMax 2500 dual-node pair using the SAP HCMT tool for HANA-HWC-ES 1.1 certification. The following table provides scalability guidelines based on the test results for the maximum number of SAP HANA production hosts that can be connected to a specified PowerMax array:
PowerMax model | Number of PowerMax node pairs | Number of SAP HANA worker hosts |
2500 | 1 | 26 |
