The groundbreaking EMC PowerStore delivers new levels of operational simplicity and agility to unlock the value of your data using a container-based architecture, advanced storage technologies, and intelligent automation. PowerStore is designed to improve resource utilization and performance to meet the growth demands of applications and systems, based on a scale-out architecture and hardware-accelerated advanced data reduction capabilities. PowerStore X models with AppsON provide the unique ability to host data-intensive and storage applications directly on the PowerStore system through a storage-based virtualization environment, with the flexibility to seamlessly move applications between the storage system and external VMware servers. PowerStore T models provide organizations with all the benefits of an enterprise unified storage platform for block, file, and vVol data, while leveraging the intelligent scale-up and scale-out capabilities of appliance clustering for flexible growth.
PowerStore is a versatile scale-up and scale-out platform based on Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors and today’s advanced storage technologies, including end-to-end NVMe flash, dual-port Intel® Optane™ SSDs, NVMe-FC, and always-on data reduction, using powerful analytics, automation, and active resource balancing to optimize performance and eliminate management overhead. Each appliance leverages active-active storage nodes and a container-based software architecture to deliver exceptional adaptability.
