Dell PowerMax 2000
Dell PowerMax 2000 is a high-performance, scalable storage array offering up to 2 Bricks, 12-core Intel Xeon E5 processors, NVMe/SCM storage, and dual-redundant InfiniBand connectivity. Engineered for mission-critical workloads, it delivers six‑nines availability, end-to-end efficient encryption, real-time ML-based data optimization, and seamless migration from legacy arrays.
Enterprise NVMe & SCM Storage for Mission-Critical Workloads
The Dell PowerMax 8000 storage array sets a new benchmark in enterprise storage by delivering unmatched performance, ultra-low latency, and massive consolidation for high-demand workloads. Leveraging 32Gb/s FC-NVMe and Storage Class Memory (SCM) with dual-port Intel® Optane™ persistent storage, PowerMax arrays reduce latency by up to 50% while providing proven enterprise data services such as security, availability, scalability, and end-to-end efficient encryption.
End-to-End Efficient & Secure Storage
PowerMax 8000 provides true end-to-end data security with efficient encryption from host to storage media, preserving inline compression and deduplication capabilities. Built for mission-critical environments, each PowerMax Brick delivers six-nines (99.9999%) availability. Real-time machine learning automatically optimizes data placement and storage performance without overhead, ensuring maximum efficiency for enterprise workloads.
Fully preconfigured from the factory, PowerMax arrays support Open Systems, Mainframe, IBM i, and File workloads simultaneously, reducing time to first I/O and simplifying deployment in complex enterprise environments.
High Efficiency and Flexibility
PowerMax arrays deliver extreme storage efficiency with global inline deduplication and compression, achieving up to 5:1 data reduction (3.5:1 guaranteed). Thin provisioning and space-efficient snapshots are fully supported with minimal impact on performance. Inline deduplication and compression can be selectively enabled by application or storage group to maximize efficiency. Designed for modern IT operations, PowerMax supports DevOps automation and containerized workloads with APIs, SDKs, and plugins for VMware vRO/vRA and popular configuration tools like Ansible. As the first major enterprise storage platform with Container Storage Interface (CSI) support, it integrates seamlessly into modern software development workflows.
