Dell PowerScale storage servers are ideal for AI workloads. The OneFS NAS operating system provides enhanced performance with massive scalability to support the most demanding file-based workloads, while enabling you to reduce hardware footprint and optimise storage resources. OneFS software can handle any unstructured data and deploy anywhere – in the datacentre, at the edge, core or in the cloud.
Inline compression and data deduplication software enhances storage efficiency to reduce your physical storage requirements by up to 35%. A policy-based, automated tiering option allows you to optimise storage resources and further lower costs.
Powered by the PowerScale OneFS operating system, Isilon all-flash storage supports all major protocols and data access methods. This means that you can support a wide range of unstructured data applications and workloads on a single storage platform.
All-flash platforms are highly resilient and offers N+1 through N+4 redundancy. With OneFS you may also choose from a variety of efficient and proven enterprise data backup and disaster recovery options.
All-flash platforms offer a broad range of robust security options including FIPS 140-2 level 2 self-encrypting drives, role-based access control (RBAC), secure access zones and file system auditing support.
New PowerScale all-flash storage platforms - powered by the OneFS operating system - provide a powerful yet simple scale-out storage architecture to speed up access to massive amounts of unstructured data while dramatically reducing cost and complexity. They deliver extreme performance and efficiency for your most demanding unstructured data applications and workloads, such as AI and deep learning. Dell-EMC has worked with NVIDIA to provide reference architectures featuring PowerScale or Isilon arrays, the DGX H100 Universal AI alliance and NVIDIA Networking switches for connectivity.
The PowerScale family of all-flash nodes - powered by OneFS - can drive workloads at the edge, in the datacentre or in the cloud. These nodes are available in a cost-effective all-flash form factor which deliver blazing performance and up to 93PB capacity to address the needs of the modern workloads of today and tomorrow.
