In this session, Dell Technologies officially introduces the new PowerFlex high-end software-defined storage offering, focused on high performance, modularity, and simplicity. The product offers breakthrough performance in applications like SQL Server, Oracle RAC, Elastic Stack, Cassandra, and SAS, with millions of IOPs, sub-millisecond latency, unrestricted throughput, and no hotspots. It is scalable, starting with just 4 notes and scaling out linearly to thousands of nodes. It is also fluid, with data non-disruptively moved as nodes are added or removed. PowerFlex can be deployed flexibly, as traditional disaggregated storage and compute, hyper-converged, or in a mixed architecture. And it has broad platform support, including Linux, Windows Server and Hyper-V, VMware vSphere, OpenStack, OpenShift, Kubernetes, and more.
