PowerFlex is an enterprise-class, software-defined, block-and-file storage solution that is deployed, managed, and supported as a single system. PowerFlex is highly flexible and scalable and allows customers to mix two-layer (server SAN) and single-layer hyperconverged configurations nodes, storage-only nodes, NAS file services nodes, and other mixed architectures in a single deployment.
With PowerFlex, resources such as storage and compute can be scaled together or separately, non-disruptively, and in small increments. The system can scale from just a few nodes to hundreds in a cluster, linearly scaling its I/O performance and throughput.
Certification notes:
With PowerFlex, you have choice and flexibility in how you consume the PowerFlex architecture:
