Dell PowerMax Storage
Supports demanding open systems, mainframe, file, and virtualized environments.
The Dell PowerMax family from UNICOM Engineering
PowerMax is architected to consolidate demanding mixed workloads through its unprecedented performance levels with up to 350 GB per second bandwidth2 and predictable read response times of under 100 microseconds3. It is that accurate modern scale-up and scale-out storage designed for mission-critical applications of today and tomorrow – including databases and transaction processing applications, as well as real-time analytics workloads that demand uncompromising uptime and extremely low latency.
PowerMax 2000
PowerMax consists of two models: PowerMax 2000 and 8000. The PowerMax 2000 is the entry-point into mission-critical storage, delivering robust data services and high availability in a compact package.
- Powerful architecture with extreme performance consolidates demanding mixed workloads
- Built-in machine learning automates data placement for optimal performance with no management overhead
- Highly secure end-to-end efficient encryption safeguards digital assets with 3.5:1 data reduction4, guaranteed by Dell Technologies
PowerMax 2500
The PowerMax 2500 delivers high performance in a compact package, storing up to 7x more capacity (8PBe) in half the rack space13 compared with previous models. Along with its high-efficiency design, the 2500 supports the full complement of rich data services for open systems, mainframe, file, and virtual environments.
- Open systems, mainframe, IBM i, file, virtualized applications
- 13 TBu - 8 PBe capacity per array
- 5:1 data reduction (Open); 3:1 data reduction (Mainframe)
- 2-4 nodes per array for scaleout
- 64K LUNs / 65M snapshots
PowerMax 8000
PowerMax consists of two models: PowerMax 2000 and 8000. The PowerMax 8000 delivers industry-leading performance density with up to 7.5 million IOPS5 per rack and 187,000 IOPS6 per U (rack unit). It supports mixed open systems, mainframe, IBM i, block, and file environments.
- Powerful architecture with extreme performance consolidates demanding mixed workloads
- Built-in machine learning automates data placement for optimal performance with no management overhead
- Highly secure end-to-end efficient encryption safeguards digital assets with 3.5:1 data reduction4, guaranteed by Dell Technologies
PowerMax 8500
The PowerMax 8500 delivers leading performance at scale for the most demanding mixed workloads requiring predictable performance with always-on availability. The 8500 delivers up to 2x faster performance and 50% lower response times with up to 18PBe of capacity compared with previous models. Like the PowerMax 2500, the 8500 can easily consolidate open systems, mainframe, file, and virtualized storage to simplify operations, significantly reduce TCO, and increase return on investment.
- Open systems, mainframe, IBM i, file, virtualized applications
- 13 TBu - 8 PBe capacity per array
- 5:1 data reduction (Open); 3:1 data reduction (Mainframe)
- 2-16 nodes per array for scaleout
- 64K LUNs / 65M snapshots
