The new digital era is revolutionizing the way businesses work and operate, placing IT transformation at the core of being competitive. Technological innovations like artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT, cloud computing, and big data analytics are the driving forces behind rapid data growth, traditional business model disruption, and – in many cases – the source of added IT complexity.   To address these paradigm shifts, organizations need a new generation of enterprise storage that provides unparalleled performance without compromising security, availability, scalability, protection and efficiency. Dell EMC PowerMax is that platform , which offers massive scalability in every possible dimension—performance, capacity, connectivity, LUNs/devices and superior data services — all with a future-proof architecture featuring end-toend non-volatile memory express (NVMe), storage class memory (SCM), built-in machine learning, seamless cloud mobility and deep VMware integration.   PowerMax delivers proven six-nines of availability in a single array1, offers leading security with end-to-end efficient encryption, and best-in-class data resiliency with Symmetrix Remote Data Facility (SRDF), the gold standard in remote replication for business continuance and disaster recovery (BC/DR). PowerMax is based on a powerful architecture, simple operation and trusted innovation that increases customer productivity, while dramatically reducing operational costs. 

CloudIQ Health Checks Dell EMC CloudIQ enables proactive monitoring and predictive analytics to deliver alerts, aggregated PowerMax health scores, and provides proactive assistance with actionable insights and recommended remediation – all from the cloud and from your mobile devices free of charge.

DevOps Automation and Containers Dell EMC PowerMax customers can seamlessly consume storage infrastructure as code in a variety of development and automation environments using powerful APIs, SDKs, plugins for VMware automation tools like vRO and vRA and modules for the most popular configuration management tools like Ansible. In addition, PowerMax supports a major shift in software development by being the first major enterprise storage solution to implement the Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver standard to enable containerized storage workloads.

Massive Scale and Consolidation PowerMax is built on a modern scale-up and scale-out storage architecture designed for mission-critical applications that demand extremely low latency and the highest availability. PowerMax enables massive consolidation of mixed environments: open systems, mainframe, IBM i, block and file storage – greatly simplifying operations and significantly lowering TCO. The ability for PowerMax to run a wide range of traditional and modern applications, multi-protocol networks and multi-format storage diversity (physical and virtual volumes, containers, traditional files) provides business-enabling flexibility and helps customers simplify and consolidate their infrastructure.

Non-Disruptive Migration To enable users to take advantage of PowerMax as quickly as possible, built-in migration tools provide seamless, non-disruptive migration from VMAX arrays and simple migration from third-party arrays to PowerMax. Customers can initiate non-disruptive migrations in three simple steps

Appliance-Based Packaging PowerMax arrays are built for simplicity and includes appliance-based packaging with either the Essential or the Pro software package. The Essential package ships with all PowerMax arrays and provides management and migration tools, SnapVX snapshots, inline dedupe and compression, and iCDM basic (AppSynch). The Pro package offers Essentials software plus enhanced security/encryption, remote replication, embedded NAS, PowerPath, and advanced management features. RecoverPoint replication software and PowerProtect Storage Direct backup licenses are sold separately.
