Dell ECS is the world’s most cyber-secure object storage[1], giving you unmatched scalability, performance, resilience, and economics. ECS delivers rich S3-compatibility on a globally distributed architecture, empowering organizations to support enterprise workloads such as AI, analytics, and archiving at scale. ECS customers are reducing TCO by up to 76% over the public cloud[2].
Dell ObjectScale is the evolution of Dell ECS enterprise object storage architecture. It leverages container technology, having been refactored to operate within a Kubernetes-native package. The most recent update facilitates ObjectScale deployment on the newly introduced ObjectScale XF960 All Flash Array appliance.
The XF960 is a comprehensive hardware solution stack, comprised of servers, switches, rack mount equipment, and power and network cables. It is designed to optimally run the ObjectScale software.
ObjectScale provides a micro-services–centric enterprise-class S3 solution.
