Innovation with PowerStore Prime: Managing Workloads with Quad-Level Cell (QLC) Storage Technology
The Dell PowerStore Prime update also introduces QLC-based storage, which offers enterprise-class performance at a lower cost per terabyte compared to Triple-Level Cell (TLC) models. Dell provides customers with the flexibility to start with just 11 QLC drives and scale up to 5.9 petabytes per device.
Furthermore, PowerStore’s intelligent load balancing can optimize workload placement across TLC and QLC clusters, which not only saves costs but also enhances operational efficiency.
Dell PowerStore Software Update Includes Enhancements in Efficiency, Security, and Cloud Mobility
The Dell PowerStore software update includes several significant improvements. In terms of efficiency, this update boosts data reduction by up to 20 percent and power efficiency by up to 28 percent. This means companies can save resources while managing ever-growing data volumes.
Data security is also enhanced with native synchronization replication options for block and file workloads, as well as native metro replication for Windows, Linux, and VMware environments. This update ensures that critical company data is protected and available across their IT ecosystem.
Additionally, improved multicloud strategies can now be implemented by connecting PowerStore to Dell APEX Block Storage. This is the world’s most scalable block storage solution for the cloud, enabling easier workload mobility across various cloud environments.
As Mike Lacenere, Vice President of Applications at Fulgent Genetics, stated, “Dell PowerStore has significantly accelerated our data processing, allowing our doctors to provide genetic insights and test results to patients more quickly.”
