Various organizations are moving to hyperconverged infrastructure for different types of workloads be it bare metal, virtualization, or container solutions to meet their business needs. Moving from the existing SAN array, legacy storage to a PowerFlex system without disrupting the production environment is a complex task that requires hours of planning to migrate. To reduce these overheads and make the migration simple, Dell PowerPath Migration Enabler (PPME) can migrate the volumes from legacy storage hardware to PowerFlex in a few steps without any downtime.
PowerFlex is ideal for high-performance applications and databases that require elasticity and scale, which build agile private and hybrid clouds, or consolidate resources in heterogeneous environments. PowerFlex gives you flexible deployment options such as PowerFlex rack and PowerFlex appliance that enable two-layer, single-layer (HCI), and storage-only architectures.
