More than 500 software advancements will improve intelligence, automation, data mobility, and security across clouds, on-premises, and edge environments with no additional cost to existing customers. The enhanced software across Dell PowerStore, PowerMax, and PowerFlex deliver faster data insights, better multi-cloud data control, and increased cyber resiliency. The advancements follow the introduction of Project Alpine, bringing enterprise capacity, performance, and protection of Dell storage software to public clouds. ### Dell PowerStore Dell PowerStore is said to deliver up to 50 percent better performance in a mixed workload and 66 percent greater capacity based on Dell’s internal tests. The enhancements provide businesses with improved business continuity planning strategies with software-only high availability metro replication configured in as few as five clicks. Other software advancements make it possible for organizations to: - Better support and secure file workloads with file-level retention, native file replication, and support for third-party file monitoring and ransomware protection. - Take advantage of VMware integrations, including improved vVols latency and performance, simplified disaster recovery with vVols replication, VM-level snapshots, and fast clones. - Maximize performance of new hardware with end-to-end NVMe support and increased networking speeds. ![Dell PowerStore 1000]() Dell PowerStore 1000 ### Dell PowerMax PowerMax introduces cyber resiliency advancements, including cyber vaults for traditional and mainframe deployments. CloudIQ ransomware capabilities to help detect cyber-attacks early to minimize exposure and speed recovery. PowerMax now supports up to 65 million secure snapshots to improve cyber recovery and increased efficiency with a 4:1 data reduction guarantee. ![Dell PowerMax 2500]() Dell PowerMax 2500 Other PowerMax benefits include: - Increase productivity with automated storage operations such as multi-array smart provisioning, workload optimization, and health monitoring and remediation. - Quickly move data to public clouds with faster cloud snapshot shipping and recovery, built-in HA to minimize downtime, and easy restore of cloud-based object storage data. - Based on Dell’s internal testing, double the performance, with up to 50 percent better response times in demanding application and mainframe environments on two new NVMe-based PowerMax models. ### Dell PowerFlex PowerFlex consolidates traditional and modern workloads with new file services that allow for unified block and file capabilities on a single platform. PowerFlex simplifies multi-cloud and DevOps with broad file and block support for all major Kubernetes and container orchestration platforms from Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Red Hat, Suse, and VMware. ![Dell PowerFlex 750]() Dell PowerFlex 750 The enhanced software provides customers with the ability to: - Realize greater TCO savings by consolidating traditional and containerized workloads using unified block and file storage services across bare metal and virtualized deployments. - Simplify PowerFlex deployment through NVMe/TCP connectivity with consistent standards-based storage networking. - Streamline operations with new unified compute, storage, and system lifecycle management capabilities. **Engage with StorageReview** [Newsletter](https://www.storagereview.com/storage_newsletter) |  [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/user/StorageReview "Opens in a new window") | Podcast  [iTunes](https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/storagereview-com-storage-reviews/id1060681115 "Opens in a new window")/ [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/1y6VnznABhHeOSMOmbDTz0 "Opens in a new window") |  [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/storagereview/ "Opens in a new window") |  [Twitter](https://twitter.com/storagereview "Opens in a new window") |  [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@storagereview?
