All-flash storage products provide high-speed, low-latency, and high-performance storage solutions for a wide range of data-intensive applications and workloads. They are designed to address the challenges of other storage systems associated with data access speed, efficiency, and scalability. All-flash storage systems are ideal for enterprises seeking to accelerate data processing, reduce application latency, or enhance overall storage performance. All-flash storage arrays are particularly favored in scenarios requiring rapid data retrievals, such as databases, virtualization, analytics, and high-transaction-rate applications.
The Award Winners
Dell PowerStore
Dell PowerStore is an advanced all-flash storage solution that delivers extreme performance, scalability, and efficiency. It combines NVMe speed with an adaptable architecture, allowing users to optimize resources and scale easily. PowerStore's container-based architecture provides greater flexibility than Dell Unity XT (another reward recipient in this category), enabling organizations to easily scale resources up or down as needed. The solution includes built-in data reduction and intelligent automation, helping enhance cost-effectiveness and simplify management and overhead. Dell PowerStore's storage performance, improved agility, and simplified management make it among the top choices for organizations with data-intensive workloads.
"We require the most up-to-date NVMe technology. We like the performance of Dell PowerStore. Most of the features are available, including support for NVMe and a mix-and-match of storage devices." - Niraj Shah, Founder/Owner, Interface Wholesaler/Distributor
"The solution's scalability, capacity, and performance are great. Migrations are very easy and fast. The solution works well with native products such as VxRail, Unity, or VMware." - Wafa Ben Ameur1, Presales System Engineer, Onetech Business Solutions Tech Services Company
"The architecture is very good. It's a reliable product. The data reduction feature is quite useful. It has a good reduction ratio during migrations." - Ahmed Azzouz, Dell-VMware Solution Architect, Systems Engineering of Egypt
Dell Unity XT
Dell Unity XT is designed for high performance and is distinguished by its unified architecture that integrates both block and file data services. This versatility, combined with features like inline data reduction and cloud tiering, makes Dell Unity XT a cost-efficient, flexible, and scalable choice for organizations seeking optimal storage performance and management capabilities. As opposed to Dell PowerStore, it uses the Unisphere management interface, which is a well-established and robust tool for managing Dell storage solutions, but its cloud integration features are not as advanced as those of PowerStore.
"Dell Unity XT has improved our organization's performance. We have seen reduced management times." Francisco Gimo, Management Information System Officer, Mining And Metals Company
"The most valuable feature is reliability. At the end of the day, it just runs. This solution is easy to work with and easy to maintain." - Peter Sowerby, Senior Technical Specialist, Healthcare Company
