The continuous growth of data volumes that need to be stored and processed poses a serious challenge for businesses, as it places a significant burden on data centers, increasing energy consumption and operational costs. Against the backdrop of rising energy resource costs in Ukraine, companies are facing a constant increase in electricity expenses, which has become a critical factor for maintaining operational efficiency.
In such conditions, businesses are compelled to seek new approaches to infrastructure management to ensure a balance between performance and energy efficiency.
In partnership with Dell Technologies, companies are making strides toward building energy-efficient data centers aimed at achieving sustainability goals and reducing costs.
One of the key advantages of collaborating with Dell is their energy-efficient equipment. The company holds more ENERGY STAR certifications for storage systems than any other vendor, demonstrating leadership in energy-efficient technologies. These certifications guarantee that Dell equipment meets the highest standards of energy efficiency, helping businesses reduce their electricity costs.
PowerMax from Dell Technologies is an enterprise-level data storage system that combines cutting-edge technology with energy efficiency, enabling businesses to significantly reduce electricity costs without sacrificing performance.
Why PowerMax?
Energy Efficiency as Standard: PowerMax is built on flash technologies, allowing for a substantial reduction in energy consumption compared to older storage systems. Advanced system optimization algorithms ensure reduced heat generation and more efficient use of electricity.
Incredible Performance: PowerMax delivers up to 10 million IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second) thanks to true end-to-end NVMe, ensuring high data processing speeds even under the most intensive workloads. This makes the system ideal for mission-critical applications where performance is key.
High Scalability: The system is designed with scalability in mind, allowing it to be easily adapted to growing business needs. PowerMax can handle a variety of workloads—from block to file and mainframe systems—providing versatility in use.
Reliable Availability: With a design based on dual-port NVMe flash modules, PowerMax ensures high availability and reliability of the system. Built-in machine learning optimizes performance and automatically configures the system for specific needs, guaranteeing business process continuity.
Innovative Technologies: PowerMax integrates advanced technologies, such as machine learning, enabling the system to learn and adapt to changing workloads. This not only enhances performance but also ensures more efficient resource utilization.
The Dell Technologies PowerMax family, introduced in 2018, was the first in Dell Technologies' portfolio to implement a true end-to-end Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) architecture. This innovation allowed for the full realization of the benefits of bandwidth, I/O speed, and reduced latency offered by NVMe media, providing host applications with results previously unattainable by earlier generations of solid-state storage arrays.
The Dell EMC PowerMax 2000 enterprise storage system is designed for mission-critical environments, providing:
High performance through full utilization of NVMe technology.
Scalability that allows adding up to 13 TB as business needs grow.
Intelligent data management thanks to a built-in machine learning module.
Versatility, supporting open, block, and file systems.
The Dell EMC PowerMax 8000 sets new standards for high-end storage systems, offering:
Scalable consolidation of mission-critical workloads.
High throughput of up to 350 GB/s and read latency of less than 100 µs.
Vertical and horizontal scalability of up to 4 PB effective capacity.
Reliable data management services through the Essentials and Pro software packages.
The Next Generation: PowerMax 2500 and 8500
In 2022, Dell Technologies introduced the new PowerMax 2500 and PowerMax 8500 systems, designed to meet the modern demands for performance, storage density, intelligent automation, and security in organizational data centers.
Key Benefits of PowerMax 2500 and 8500:
The most secure storage platform: with hardware security, including Hardware Root of Trust (HWRoT) and multi-factor authentication.
Innovative architecture with a new disaggregated design that allows independent scaling of storage and compute resources.
Twofold performance improvement compared to previous models.
NVMe/TCP integration for a 44% reduction in setup time.
Higher storage density: 7 times more effective capacity, with scalability up to 18 PB for PowerMax 8500.
Enhanced data reduction capabilities with a guarantee of 3:1 for mainframes and 4:1 for open systems.
Leading energy efficiency: up to 80% energy savings per PB.
Modern integrated file services supporting up to 64 TB of NFS and SMB file systems.
The PowerMax 2500 and 8500 offer over 200 new features and capabilities, making them ideal for meeting the needs of modern data centers.
In today's environment, where businesses must find a balance between increasing operational demands and resource savings, energy-efficient solutions are becoming a necessity rather than a luxury. Implementing products like PowerMax can be a key factor in the sustainable development of companies in Ukraine.
