PowerScale can be used elastically by leveraging Dell Technologies On Demand flexible consumption model.
Data, unstructured in particular, is growing at an enormous rate with no sign of slowing down or stopping. Every so often an analyst firm likes to put up some numbers based on their research, but the numbers generally have to be reassessed higher. All of this data needs to be stored and analyzed, something that has been a bit of a struggle. Dell EMC is looking to marriage its award-winning server hardware with its storage software in Dell EMC PowerScale. The company states that PowerScale can unlock the potential of organizations’ data, no matter where it resides, and use it to drive meaningful business impact.
The first step on the software side is the OS. Dell EMC PowerScale leverages OneFS operating system (more well known for being the OS in Isilon). The latest version bring several software benefits including enhanced data reduction technology, S3 object access and support for Ansible and Kubernetes. For analytics PowerScale uses Dell EMC DataIQ software. DataIQ is said to help discover, understand and act on unstructured data across private and public cloud storage. The software has the following benefits:
For hardware, Dell is leveraging its Dell EMC PowerEdge servers. The Dell EMC PowerScale family will start as 1U boxes that are all-flash as well as NVMe nodes and existing Isilon all-flash, hybrid and archive nodes running the PowerScale OneFS 9.0 operating system. The new storage family is said to deliver up to 15.8 million IOPS per cluster, making it ideal for AI, analytics, IOT, digital media, healthcare and life sciences workloads. The storage family comes with inline data reduction for more efficient data storage.
Dell EMC PowerScale OneFS 9.0, PowerScale nodes and DataIQ are available globally now.
