Dell EMC PowerMax storage

  • The Dell EMC PowerMax family of storage systems provides simplicity, modern design, and flexible deployments. PowerMax systems implement an integrated architecture for block, file, and VMware Virtual Volumes, with concurrent support for native NAS, iSCSI, and FC protocols. PowerMax systems support file and block environments, point-in-time snapshots and thin clones, synchronous and asynchronous replication, integrated encryption, tiering to the cloud, and deep ecosystem integration with VMware, Microsoft, and OpenStack.

    The PowerMax family consists of two models:

    • PowerMax 2000—For efficiency and maximum flexibility in half of a standard 19-inch rack
    • PowerMax 8000—For massive scale, performance, and I/O density, all within a two-floor-tile footprint
