The PowerMax 2000 brings unmatched efficiency and flexibility to the data center, providing customers with over 2.7 million IOPS (8 K RRH) and up to 1 PB of effective capacity in just 20U of total space.
The PowerMax 2000 can be configured using either one or two Bricks in a single standard Dell EMC Titan rack. Each Brick consumes 10U of rack space (20U max for dual-Brick PowerMax 2000 systems). The initial Brick occupies the bottom 10U of the rack when shipped from Dell Technologies manufacturing. The second Brick occupies the 10U directly above the initial Brick. This is applicable for systems ordered as dual Bricks or scale-out systems. An additional PowerMax 2000 system can be added into the remaining 20U in the rack.

The PowerMax 2000 does not feature a system tray, KVM, or internal Ethernet or InfiniBand switches. It uses direct InfiniBand connections between engines on dual Brick systems.
Note: The PowerMax 2000 can be installed in third-party racking. For more information about PowerMax 2000 third-party racking options, see the Dell EMC PowerMax Family Site Planning Guide.
