The PowerMax 2000 storage array offers an extremely small footprint with fast end-to-end NVMe and SCM performance and rich data services, all at an attractive entry point into the PowerMax family. The array delivers the performance that your applications demand while consolidating block and file storage through iSCSI and Fibre Channel interfaces.
PowerScale is a modern, scale-out NAS solution for file storage, designed to be flexible and reliable at any scale. Regardless of the kind of data, where the data lives, or how big it gets, your data lake remains simple to manage, simple to grow, simple to protect, and simple enough to handle the most demanding workloads.
The PowerStore 5000T standard deployment model provides organizations with all the benefits of a unified storage platform for block, file, and NFS storage, while also enabling flexible growth with the intelligent scale-up and scale-out capability of appliance clusters. Automated management of resources across the cluster results in superior storage utilization and simplified administration. PowerStore’s data-centric design with NVMe and hardware-enabled advanced data reduction and 4:1 DRR deliver critical performance and storage efficiency for both traditional and modern applications.
The Unity XT 380F all-flash array is the entry point to the Unity XT all-flash storage series. The array provides NFS, block, and file storage for OpenShift Container Platform 4.6. Built for multi-cloud deployment, the Unity XT 380F array provides simple and affordable unified storage that is designed for high performance and low latency with the ability to simultaneously run mixed-application workloads, process inline data reduction, and provide data services without any performance impact.
