Built on a flexible, software-defined architecture, the EX500 delivers enterprise-class durability, rich S3 compatibility, and efficient capacity options for cloud-native apps, big data analytics, IoT, and long-term archive environments.
Cloud-Scale Object Storage for Modern Enterprise Workloads
Dell ECS is the industry-leading object storage platform engineered for unmatched scalability, enterprise-grade durability, and cloud-like economics. Built for both turnkey appliance deployment and software-defined flexibility, ECS delivers rich S3 compatibility across a globally distributed architecture. It empowers organizations to support cloud-native, archival, IoT, AI, and big data analytics workloads at any scale.
With its globally accessible, single namespace and deeply resilient multi-layer design, ECS combines public cloud agility with private cloud control—making it the ideal storage solution for organizations requiring high availability, unlimited scalability, and cost efficiency for unstructured data.
Unified, Global Object Storage Architecture
Dell ECS provides a unified platform for object and file workloads with comprehensive protocol support. Its software-defined architecture promotes limitless scalability where each layer is abstracted and independently scalable—with no single points of failure. ECS enables organizations to manage geographically distributed data under one global namespace, ensuring simplified management and seamless, anywhere access to content.
Whether deployed as an appliance or as a software-defined system on Dell PowerEdge servers, ECS delivers consistent performance, automated resilience, and intelligent data placement across sites. Its cloud-scale design and native S3 compatibility allow enterprises to modernize applications while maintaining full data control and predictable long-term economics.
ECS EX-Series — Third-Generation Object Storage Appliances
The ECS EX-Series is the latest generation of Dell hardware appliances, continuing the legacy of EMC Centera and Atmos platforms. Designed for operational efficiency and scalable performance, the EX-Series includes EX300, EX500, EX3000, and the all-flash EXF900 models—each optimized for specific workload and capacity requirements.
The mid-range EX500 strikes the perfect balance between performance, density, and cost-effectiveness. With dual 10-core processors, scale-out capabilities, identical node performance, and optional SSD caching for enhanced metadata operations, the EX500 is ideal for mid-sized enterprises supporting cloud-native applications or deep archive needs.
