4. Power your next-gen apps

PowerStore’s active/active, end-to-end NVMe architecture and intelligent performance tuning keep workloads running at top speed.

5. Maximize density and efficiency

As your business grows, PowerStore helps do more with less. From self-optimizing software and support for both TLC and QLC media without trade-offs, to up to 40 industry-standard E3 NVMe drives delivering up to 5.8 PBe6 in a single 3U system, PowerStore brings together intelligence, media flexibility, and density to lower power, cooling, and cost per workload.

6. Enable zero downtime SLAs

Designed for 99.999% availability, PowerStore helps ensure data integrity with Dynamic Resiliency Engine, immutable snapshots, advanced replication with automated failover, and integrated backup to PowerProtect DD on-prem or in the cloud.

7. Streamline and automate workflows

PowerStore is more than storage. It integrates with the platforms and clouds your applications already run on, so storage works as part of your operating model instead of another silo. Support for virtualization, containers, and automation platforms— including VMware, Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform, and more—reduces effort while giving developers self-service control.

8. Strengthen cyber resilience

PowerStore gives you everything you need for a Zero Trust strategy, including HWRoT/Secure Boot, MFA, D@RE, FLR, ransomware protection, secure snapshots, and data-in-flight encryption-capable networking — all designed to strengthen security today while supporting a posture that helps prepare for a post-quantum world.

9. Foundation for Dell Private Cloud

PowerStore anchors Dell Private Cloud, giving you end-to-end orchestration with appliance-like simplicity and the flexibility of disaggregated infrastructure. Validated blueprints across popular platforms and hypervisors help you modernize on a consistent foundation while scaling compute, storage, and networking independently.

10. Stay continuously modern

Best of all, PowerStore makes it easy to keep pace with changing business requirements. Its all-inclusive software, nondisruptive upgrades, and mixed-generation clustering keeps you on the latest innovation curve, while Lifecycle Extension with ProSupport helps lower TCO through flexible upgrade paths and capacity savings.
