Today Dell EMC announced that they were launching a few new products that were aimed at bringing enterprise-class all-flash storage to even more customers. These new products include the new Dell EMC VMAX 250F, to which the company claims the product will deliver an enterprise-class all-flash array with game-changing economics. Along with the VMAX 250F, Dell EMC is updating its HYPERMAX OS with inline compression and the company is introducing a new Dell EMC VPLEX for All-Flash.
(Dell) EMC has declared this the year of all-flash, launching its first all-flash VMAX earlier this year. Dell EMC is taking this same message and extending it beyond large enterprise companies. Smaller companies and companies with lower budgets also want to take advantage of VMAX’s all-flash enterprise performance and capabilities. The VMAX 250F is set to deliver the capabilities customers want while being easier on budgets.
Main features of the VMAX 250F include:
The entire line of VMAX products use the HYPERMAX OS. Dell EMC is releasing a new version of the OS along with the release of the new VMAX 250F. This release also coincides with the new release of OpenStack Cinder for VMAX. This further demonstrates Dell EMC’s commitment to the OpenStack storage community (so far the company has contributed over 80% more lines of code than its nearest competitor).
New HYPERMAX features include:
Dell EMC is also introducing a new VS6 platform of VPLEX (its continuous availability and non-disruptive data mobility solution), as well as a VPLEX For All-Flash solution. The VPLEX VS6 doubles its performance, lowers its latency by two-thirds, and is able to scale much higher than previous generations. According to the company, VPLEX VS6 is optimized for flash with UNMAP support for thin provisioning, XCOPY support and Integrated Copy Data Management (iCDM) support across active-active datacenters. The all-flash version of VPLEX comes with a software license tied to a VPLEX engine without any limitations on the capacity or the number of Dell EMC flash arrays protected. Now customers can add VPLEX engines non-disruptively to support the performance requirements of multiple all-flash systems.
