Dell PowerScale, powered by the OneFS operating system, enables organizations to scale from terabytes to petabytes and delivers high-performance, high-throughput, or both, without adding management complexity. OneFS powers highly flexible, scale-out storage solutions with precisely the right storage on a “grow-as-you-go” basis, eliminating the need for overprovisioning.
In a world where unstructured data is growing rapidly and taking over the data center, organizations need the flexibility to address the additional performance needs of certain workloads. The PowerScale P100 performance accelerator node delivers the flexibility and scalability to a PowerScale cluster by providing incremental performance to meet the requirements of specific compute-bound workflows.
Facing exponential data growth, organizations are equally challenged to meet data protection requirements and service levels. Providing fast, efficient, and reliable data protection is essential. The PowerScale B100 backup accelerator node is designed to integrate easily with current tape infrastructure and with leading backup software technologies to improve two-way NDMP backup performance.
