With Dell scale-out NAS solutions powered by the OneFS operating system, organizations can scale from TBs to PBs within a single file system, single volume, with a single point of administration. OneFS delivers high-performance, high-throughput, or both, without adding management complexity.

Next-generation data centers must be built for sustainable scalability. They will harness the power of automation, leverage the commoditization of hardware, ensure the full consumption of the network fabric, and provide maximum flexibility for organizations intent on satisfying an ever-changing set of requirements.

OneFS is the next-generation file system designed to meet these challenges. OneFS provides:

• Fully distributed single file system
• High-performance, fully symmetric cluster
• File striping across all nodes in a cluster
• Automated software to eliminate complexity
• Dynamic content balancing
• Flexible data protection
• High availability
• Web-based and command-line administration

OneFS is ideally suited for file-based and unstructured “big data” applications in enterprise data lake environments – including large-scale home directories, file shares, archives, virtualization, and business analytics – as well as a wide range of data-intensive, high performance computing environments including energy exploration, financial services, Internet and hosting services, business intelligence, engineering, manufacturing, media and entertainment, bioinformatics, and scientific research.
