PowerFlex is a software-defined storage platform designed to reduce operational and infrastructure complexity. It empowers organizations to move faster by delivering flexibility, elasticity, and simplicity with predictable performance and resiliency at scale. The PowerFlex family of software-defined infrastructure provides a foundation that combines compute and high-performance storage resources in a managed unified fabric. Flexibility is offered as it comes in multiple hardware deployment options such as integrated rack, appliance, or ready nodes, all of which provide Server SAN, HCI, and storage only architectures.

Figure 1.   PowerFlex overview

PowerFlex provides the flexibility and scale demanded by a range of application deployments, whether they are on bare metal, virtualized, or containerized.

It provides the performance and resiliency required by the most demanding enterprises, demonstrating six nines or greater of mission-critical availability with stable and predictable latency.

Providing millions of IOPs at sub-millisecond latency, PowerFlex is ideal for high-performance applications. It works well in organizations with private clouds that want a flexible foundation with synergies into public and hybrid cloud. It is also great for organizations consolidating heterogeneous assets into a single system with a flexible, scalable architecture that provides the automation to manage both storage and compute infrastructure.
