PowerMax 2500
The PowerMax 2500 is the entry-point into next-generation, mission-critical storage. As the world’s most secure mission-critical storage, it is designed for Zero Trust security environments. Not only does PowerMaxOS 10 software update in under 6 seconds, it is also designed for 99.9999% data availability and 65M secure snaps for a single array. The 2500 has fully automated performance optimization (AI/ML) and is the industry’s first automated end-to-end NVMe/TCP deployment solution powered by the breakthrough dynamic fabric architecture.
Mission-Critical Storage with Maximum Density
The Dell PowerMax 2500 provides organizations an attractive entry point into mission-critical storage with up to 7x more capacity (8 PBe) in half the footprint versus previous models. Combining the industry’s richest data services, PowerMax 2500 supports mixed workloads—block, file, and mainframe storage—while delivering the highest levels of availability and cyber resiliency.
Flexible and Scalable Architecture
Based on the Dynamic Fabric architecture and Flexible RAID, PowerMax 2500 allows independent growth of nodes and storage capacity, drive by drive. Leveraging Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors and modern storage technologies—including end-to-end NVMe, InfiniBand 100Gb/s, dual-ported NVMe flash drives, and NVMe/TCP connectivity—the system ensures maximum performance and future-proof flexibility.
PowerMax arrays provide 6 nines of availability, real-time power monitoring with intelligent PDUs, and continuously modern storage capabilities through Dell’s Future-Proof program.
Scale Up and Scale Out
PowerMax is built with modular compute and storage media. Compute modules are packaged as node pairs, each containing two PowerMax compute nodes with software, cache memory, redundant power, and connectivity. These are combined with 48-slot Dynamic Media Enclosures (DMEs) to house NVMe flash drives. With the Inclusive Software package, NVMe drives can scale up to a total effective capacity of 8 PBe on the PowerMax 2500.
