Why choose Dell PowerMax
Resilient and secure
Safeguard your data with the highest levels of cybersecurity to prevent, detect, and recover from cyberattacks. PowerMax accelerates Zero Trust adoption with hardware root-of-trust, ransomware anomaly detection, and the most granular cyber recovery at scale (up to 65M snaps).
Based on Dell PowerMax specification of 65 million snaps per PowerMax compared with mainstream high-end storage arrays, April 2023.
Automated operations
Get results faster with next-generation automation for repetitive management tasks. Each system comes with built-in machine-learning for predictive analytics and pattern recognition. Maximise performance with no overhead management.
Modern scale-out architecture
Consolidate workloads at scale by adding compute and media elements independently with integrated, modern NVIDIA BlueField Data Processing Unit (DPU) technology. Deliver predictable performance and access any flash drive in the system from any node on the fabric, regardless of physical location.
Breakthrough energy efficiency
PowerMax delivers improvements in performance, storage density, and data reduction. Store more data, with 80% power savings per terabyte. Dell offers a 4:1 data reduction guarantee for open systems and 3:1 data reduction guarantee for mainframe data.
