Dell ECS EX5000
The Dell ECS EX5000 is a high-density, cloud-scale object storage appliance designed for modern unstructured data workloads. With Intel x86 architecture, up to 100 drives per node, multi-node rack configurations, and exabyte-level scalability, it delivers enterprise-grade durability, high availability, and flexible expansion for large-scale storage environments.
Enterprise-Grade, Cloud-Scale Object Storage
Dell ECS is an enterprise-grade, cloud-scale object storage platform engineered to deliver modern, scalable, and highly resilient storage for unstructured data. Designed for public cloud scale with the control of private infrastructure, ECS supports a broad set of protocols for object and file workloads on a single unified platform.
With global access, a single namespace, and seamless content distribution, ECS empowers organizations to manage vast, geographically distributed environments with ease. Its layered, software-defined architecture ensures limitless scalability, high availability, and complete abstraction across all layers—eliminating single points of failure.
Cloud-Like Simplicity with Private Infrastructure Control
ECS enables organizations to deliver cloud-scale services with on-premises reliability and governance. It integrates seamlessly into modern hybrid cloud environments, enabling anywhere access to data with global consistency and simplified management.
Whether deployed as software-defined storage or as a turnkey appliance combining ECS software with Dell PowerEdge servers, ECS offers predictable performance, cloud-like elasticity, and enterprise-class durability. Its flexible architecture ensures smooth scaling from terabytes to exabytes while maintaining operational efficiency.
Scalable Architecture Built for Modern Data Growth
Dell ECS is currently in its third generation of hardware appliances—the EX-Series—continuing the legacy of EMC Centera and Atmos platforms. The EX-Series includes the EX500, EX5000, and the all-flash EXF900, each optimized for capacity, density, and performance.
Featuring a hot-swappable, high-density design, the EX5000 supports up to 14 PB per rack and can expand effortlessly to exabyte-scale. Each layer of the ECS architecture is independently scalable, allowing organizations to adapt compute, storage, and networking resources without disruption.
