The PowerMax family is the first Dell EMC data storage system to fully use NVMe technology for customer application data. Innovative PowerMax storage is built using a 100% NVMe end-to-end storage architecture, allowing it to reach unprecedented IOPS densities by eliminating the flash media choke points found using traditional SAS and SATA interfaces.
There are two PowerMax models:
The design of PowerMax is also built to provide not only the highest levels of performance, but also to deliver the highest levels of enterprise class reliability, availability, and serviceability. PowerMax customers can consolidate their workloads as block, file, and mainframe can all run on the platform. PowerMax comes complete with optimized data services which include advanced data reduction using inline deduplication and compression, the industry standard remote and local replication technologies of SRDF and TimeFinder SnapVX, and embedded array management with Unisphere for PowerMax. Cloud Mobility extends PowerMax storage to public or private clouds for long-term-retention use cases.
