PowerFlex is the newest member of Dell Technologies’ “powered-up” storage portfolio. This software-defined storage solution empowers enterprises to harness the power of software and embrace change while achieving consistent predictable outcomes. It offers massive performance, unprecedented flexibility, extreme scalability and enterprise performance while significantly simplifying IT operations.
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. Dell Technologies offers different consumption options for PowerFlex, including in PowerFlex Rack or as an appliance.

In this session, Dell Technologies exposes the inner workings of the new PowerFlex high-end software-defined storage offering. They discuss data layout in pools of abstracted storage resources, automatically allocating and balancing storage. PowerFlex has a “software-first” architecture, with a storage data server (SDS), storage data client (SDC), and metadata manager (MDM), enabling multiple deployment architectures, including hyper-converged architecture (HCI). PowerFlex achieves high I/O parallelism and resiliency thanks to this architecture while still offering enterprise-class storage features including replication and high availability.
