Dell Powerstore 9200T, 2560GB 93 Drives, All-Flash Storage Array

When your business needs instant, reliable access to massive amounts of data, the right storage system can be the difference between growth and bottleneck. The PowerStore appliance delivers all-flash, all-NVMe performance that eliminates latency, scales effortlessly, and protects every byte, so you can keep applications running fast and users happy without worrying about storage limits.

PowerStore All-Flash NVMe Storage Appliance

Enterprises today juggle databases, virtual machines, containers, and file services on the same infrastructure. Managing these diverse workloads on separate platforms creates hidden costs, complex admin tasks, and unpredictable performance. PowerStore solves this by unifying block, file, vVols and container-based workloads in a single, high-speed appliance. The result is a streamlined environment where data moves quickly, storage is used efficiently, and you retain full control over capacity and performance. With built-in data reduction, thin provisioning, and a dynamic resiliency engine, PowerStore turns raw hardware into a cost-effective, always-available data hub.

Benefits

PowerStore’s 4 Intel® Xeon® CPUs provide 112 cores at 2.2 GHz, delivering the compute power needed for heavy virtualization and database workloads while keeping response times low. The massive 2 560 GB of DRAM acts as a high-speed cache, ensuring that frequently accessed data is served instantly, which translates into smoother user experiences and higher application throughput. Because the system is an all-flash, all-NVMe appliance, every read and write operation benefits from the lowest possible latency, allowing you to run latency-sensitive applications such as online transaction processing or real-time analytics without compromise. The built-in data reduction technologies-5:1 DRR guarantee, hardware-based compression, and global deduplication-shrink your storage footprint, lowering cost per gigabyte and reducing the need for frequent capacity upgrades. Finally, the dual active/active nodes in a 2U enclosure provide continuous availability; if one node fails, the other takes over instantly, keeping services online and protecting your business from downtime.

Usages

• Deploy virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) with fast login times and seamless user sessions.
• Host mission-critical databases that require sub-millisecond latency and high IOPS.
• Consolidate file shares, NFS and SMB services for engineering, design, and media teams.
• Provide persistent storage for Kubernetes containers and VMware vVols in a hybrid cloud.
• Run backup and archival workloads that benefit from built-in compression and deduplication.
