Dell PowerStore is designed as a flexible, software-driven platform that can adapt as your business and data needs change.

From a technology standpoint, PowerStore provides:

• A modern all-flash architecture with end-to-end NVMe and active-active nodes to keep performance high as you scale.
• Rapid software innovation that regularly adds new capabilities, such as support for lower-cost, high-performance QLC media.
• Scalability up to 23 PB effective capacity per cluster (assuming an average 5:1 data reduction), so you can grow without re-architecting.
• Performance improvements over time, including up to 30% more IOPS in the PowerStoreOS 4.0 release compared to 3.6 in specific test scenarios.

From a business and investment perspective, PowerStore is built to protect your budget and reduce risk:

• Future-Proof program benefits such as a 3-year satisfaction guarantee, all-inclusive software, never-worry data migration, and tech refresh & recycle options.
• A 5:1 Data Reduction Guarantee with no pre-assessment or program fee, up to a 5-year coverage term, and a transparent remediation process.
• Flexible consumption models, including as-a-service options that let you pay monthly for what you actually use.
• Lifecycle Extension with ProSupport, combining support and flexible technology upgrades so you can stay continuously modern without disruptive forklift upgrades.

PowerStore is also the only storage system with a certified NPS scoring methodology by Bain & Company, giving you an independently validated view of customer experience and satisfaction.

Dell PowerStore is built to balance high performance with strong efficiency so you can support demanding workloads without overspending on infrastructure.

Performance for next-gen and AI-accelerated workloads:

• End-to-end NVMe architecture and active-active nodes keep latency low and throughput high.
• Intelligent performance tuning helps maintain consistent performance as you scale.
• With PowerStoreOS 4.0, systems can deliver up to 30% more IOPS than PowerStoreOS 3.6 in internal tests (70/30 read/write mix, 128K block size over FC).

Data reduction and capacity efficiency:

• Smart data reduction with an average target of 5:1 effective data reduction, backed by a 5:1 Data Reduction Guarantee.
• Ability to scale to 23 PB effective capacity per cluster (assuming 5:1 data reduction), helping you consolidate workloads.
• New high-performance QLC options that lower cost while maintaining strong performance.

Energy, footprint, and cost optimization:

• Compact, unified architecture that helps minimize rack space.
• Multiple ENERGY STAR certifications to support energy-efficiency goals.
• Up to 28% more TB per watt in internal testing, helping reduce power and cooling costs as you grow.
• Self-optimizing software that adapts to changing workloads, reducing the need for manual tuning and overprovisioning.

Combined with flexible as-a-service consumption options, these capabilities help you reimagine how you deliver storage performance while keeping a close eye on TCO.

Dell PowerStore is designed to protect your data, support a Zero Trust approach, and connect your on-premises environment with cloud services.

Data protection and availability:

• Engineered for 99.9999% availability to keep workloads online.
• Dynamic Resiliency Engine to maintain data integrity and tolerate drive failures.
• Secure, immutable snapshots to help ensure zero-loss data integrity.
• Native synchronous, asynchronous, and metro synchronous replication with a witness for automated failover and failback.
• Integrated backup and restore with Dell PowerProtect DD for end-to-end protection.

Security and Zero Trust alignment:

• Support for a Zero Trust cybersecurity model, including Hardware Root of Trust (HWRoT) Secure Boot and multi-factor authentication (MFA).
• Features such as secure snapshots, ransomware protection, and file-level retention (FLR) to help guard against malicious changes.
• Meets stringent requirements of the U.S. Department of Defense, giving you a strong baseline for compliance-driven environments.

Cloud and multicloud integration:

• Native backup and restore integration with Dell PowerProtect Data Domain Virtual Edition for cloud-based data protection.
• Two-way data migration to Dell PowerFlex for Public Cloud, helping you move data where it makes the most sense.
• Integration with Dell Private Cloud to accelerate on-premises cloud deployments.
• APEX subscriptions and as-a-service options that let you consume PowerStore in a cloud-like, pay-as-you-go model.

Together, these capabilities help you reimagine how you secure, protect, and connect your data across on-premises and cloud environments.
