PowerFlex provides the flexibility and scale demanded by a range of application deployments, whether they are virtualized, containerized, or on bare metal. 

PowerFlex provides the performance and resiliency required by the most demanding enterprises, demonstrating six 9s or greater of mission-critical availability with stable and predictable latency.¹

Providing millions of IOPs at submillisecond latency, PowerFlex is ideal for both high-performance applications and for private clouds that want a flexible foundation with synergies into public and hybrid cloud. It is also great for organizations consolidating heterogeneous assets into a single system, with a flexible, scalable architecture that provides the automation to manage both storage and compute infrastructure.
