Dell PowerStore helps manage increasing workload demands with the industry’s most

flexible quad-level cell (QLC) storage1 and significant performance enhancements.

QLC-based storage: Delivers enterprise-class performance at a lower cost

per terabyte when compared to triple-level cell (TLC) models. Customers can

start with as few as 11 QLC drives and scale up to 5.9 petabytes of effective

capacity per appliance.2 PowerStore’s intelligent load balancing capabilities

help save costs and improve workload placement across mixed TLC and QLC

clusters.

Increased performance: Improves hardware performance up to 66% through

new data-in-place higher model appliance upgrades.3

Dell PowerStore software advancements improve efficiency, security and cloud mobility:

Software-driven performance boost: Non-disruptive software updates

available at no additional cost to existing customers deliver up to a 30%

higher mixed workload performance boost4 and up to 20% lower latency.

Improved data protection: More choices for customers safeguarding critical

workloads with native synchronous replication for block and file workloads

and native metro replication for Windows, Linux and VMware environments.

Increased Efficiency: Software enhancements provide up to 20% better data

reduction and up to 28% more effective terabytes per watt.

Multicloud data mobility enhancements: Customers can advance

multicloud strategies and simplify workload mobility by connecting

PowerStore to Dell APEX Block Storage for Public Cloud, the world’s most

scalable cloud block storage.

“Dell PowerStore is helping Fulgent Genetics transform patient care in pathology,

oncology, reproductive health, as well as infectious and rare diseases, by significantly

accelerating data processing speed so that our physicians can deliver faster genetic

insights and test results to our patients,” said Mike Lacenere, vice president,

Applications, Fulgent Genetics. “PowerStore enhances our commitment to sustainability

by minimizing energy use and reducing the size of our data centers while providing us

considerable cost savings. With PowerStore’s new advances, we expect this trifecta of

performance, efficiency, and cost savings to continue to increase which will help us

improve patient care.”

These PowerStore advancements are part of PowerStore Prime, a new integrated

customers greater storage investment protection and increase Dell partner profitability.
