To enable IT organizations to address their data needs and improve agility to enable digital transformation, Dell Technologies introduces PowerStore—a modern storage appliance that is designed for the data era. PowerStore provides our customers with data-centric, intelligent, and adaptable infrastructure that supports both traditional and modern workloads. PowerStore is designed to support any workload by delivering unified storage (physical or virtual, file-based, or container-based) in a performance-optimized appliance that can scale up and out when demands increase.
Driving automation and operational efficiency across the management environment is a top priority for organizations seeking to free up resources and reduce staffing requirements for IT specialists who are difficult to hire and retain. PowerStore enables autonomous, consistent operations with programmable infrastructure that enables automation and DevOps by streamlining development environments and automating end-to-end workflows.
Following a traditional networking approach for PowerStore can make deployment complex and error prone due to manual operations. This approach negates the agility and operational efficiency inherent in deploying modern data-centric workloads with PowerStore. Infrastructure teams often must rely on networking experts to preconfigure the networks correctly before they can deploy PowerStore nodes. These tasks consume bandwidth from the networking experts for simple tasks that can otherwise be automated and integrated. The integrated PowerSwitch portfolio and SmartFabric Services offer a holistic Dell-on-Dell solution that automates networking as an extension of the modern infrastructure solutions offered by Dell Technologies.
