In today’s digital economy, unparalleled software innovation, multi-cloud agility and advancements in workflow automation have given organizations the opportunity to become disruptive and innovate with data. To keep pace with business demands and capitalize on this opportunity, organizations need to accelerate the time between data creation and innovation, but face numerous headwinds. Data is growing exponentially and is more diverse and distributed than ever before. In addition, organizations are struggling to breakdown internal operational silos, protect their IT infrastructure from sophisticated cyber security threats, increase developer productivity and overcome cloud complexity. To address these challenges, organizations need trusted and innovative enterprise storage that provides unparalleled performance, scalability, and security at scale without compromise. Dell’s new PowerMax is designed to be secure, intelligent, and always modern so that businesses can fully unlock the power of data. The latest PowerMaxOS 10 software builds on decades of software innovation to provide trusted, intelligent, secure storage for the most demanding missioncritical workloads while simplifying operations. Based on NVMe dynamic fabric technology, the new PowerMax systems eliminate traditional storage boundries in every possible dimension—performance, scalability, capacity, security—to meet the increasing demands of traditional workloads and next generation cloud-based applications.  

High Efficiency Power Max delivers leading efficiency with global inline deduplication and compression, space-efficient secure snapshots, up to 80% power savings per terabyte, and thin provisioning. Its inline deduplication and compression have virtually zero impact on performance, can be used with all PowerMax data services, and are turned on/off by application (volume) for maximum flexibility. PowerMax 2500 and 8500 ship with Dell’s 4:1 data reduction guarantee for open systems workloads and 3:1 data reduction guarantee for mainframe storage to maximize efficiency in any environment.

Integrated File PowerMax 2500 and 8500 systems incorporate the latest 64-bit file services and active-active nodes along with new levels of resiliency and seamless Unisphere management integration. The new models boost resiliency by adding SRDF/S (synchronous) remote replication for high availability File services.

Multi-Array Workload Optimization Multi-array workload planner analyzes the storage infrastructure across multiple PowerMax / VMAX arrays and recommends the best place to host workloads for optimal performance and resource utilization. Built-in data movement technology provides seamless data mobility across PowerMax and VMAX arrays by using array-based orchestration and replication services to automatically discover, configure, and migrate data online. 

Multi-Cloud Infrastructure Dell’s storage systems easily extend to the cloud to address rapid data growth and optimize data center resources with simple and efficient data mobility to and from hybrid clouds. Cloud Mobility for Dell PowerMax offers seamless and transparent movement of data from PowerMax to cloud, enabling customers storing open systems capacity to leverage lower cost object storage, reducing the cost per GB for archive and long-term data retention. Archiving and long-term retention are primary examples of how PowerMax customers can leverage Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Dell ECS or PowerScale for low-cost object storage. In addition to the economic benefit, archiving to the cloud frees up capacity for PowerMax arrays to support higher priority applications on-premises -- extending the useful life of PowerMax. And, PowerMax object data can be recovered to any PowerMax, when needed

Detect CloudIQ is a powerful application used to track system health through pattern recognition and advanced analytics. Through CloudIQ Cybersecurity, users can define legal configurations for PowerMax, monitor the system, and receive alerts if the array is out of compliance. CloudIQ is also able to track data patterns and detect anomalies, including changes to data reduction rates, to establish if ransomware or malware may have infected the system. Once suspicious anomalies are detected, CloudIQ alerts IT management to take corrective action. 

Recover PowerMax utilizes secure, immutable snapshots to provide the industry’s most granular cyber recovery at scale, maximizing data recovery from a cyberattack. Administrators can set snapshot policies for up to 65 million secure snapshots to optimize recovery point objectives (RPO) and minimize data loss. Several options also exist for native cyber recovery from a secure vault for open systems and mainframe storage on PowerMax. 

Mission-critical availability PowerMax sets the standard for mission-critical availability. Whether it’s proven active-active data center replication to comply with stringent BC/DR requirements, non-disruptive PowerMaxOS upgrades in under six seconds, or continuous data integrity checks, PowerMax delivers the highest levels of data availability for your mission-critical applications.

Reliable data protection SnapVX provides space-efficient local snapshots that can be used for localized protection and recovery and other use cases including development/test, analytics, backups, and software patching. SnapVX secure snapshots prevent accidental or malicious deletion, retaining them for a specified period. In addition, integrated copy data management (iCDM) enables application-consistent, onarray copy orchestration with critical applications like Oracle and VMware, enabling operational recovery and copy repurposing.
