PowerStore models can scale up with several different upgrade paths. You can add drives or drive expansion shelves to an appliance, add storage network paths, upgrade to next-generation hardware as it becomes available, or upgrade to more powerful models within the same family. Like SQL Server scale-up, this approach is also low impact. PowerStore redundancy features and the Lifecycle Extension with ProSupport Plus program offered by Dell Technologies ensure a frictionless upgrade experience.
