Scaling to tomorrow’s business needs

Many are choosing software-defined storage (SDS)

solutions for hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI).

It delivers simpler, streamlined, scalable storage

that is:

At a fraction of the

cost of traditional,

storage

high-performance

flash-optimized

hyper-converged

built for any application


SDS + Hardware = Success

But “software defined” means

hardware matters more than ever.

Storage performance and ROI depend

heavily on the performance and

reliability of the hardware – that comes

from a trusted partner who has your

needs in mind.

Choosing the right technology

Reliable designs

High-performance

Integrated building blocks

Easy to purchase

Easy to deploy


Are you facing any of these challenges?

Hard to locate the

source of a problem,

making it hard to

know who to call

for help

Takes too long to

configure, test and

validate

Configuring new

infrastructure can

be complex

Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct Resilience and availability with industry-standard hardware

Flexibly create storage pools based on the needs of the deployment.

Maximize value by mapping a storage pool to combinations of HDDs and

SDDs. Expand dynamically by simply adding additional drives.

Storage Pools

Administration of storage pools can be controlled through access

control lists (ACLs) and delegated on a per-pool basis to support

hosting scenarios that require tenant isolation.

Multi-tenancy

Two optional resiliency modes: mirroring and parity. Hot spares,

background scrubbing and intelligent error correction for continuous

service availability.

Resilient Storage

Fully integrated with failover clustering to enable continuously

available service deployments. Integration with CSVs permits scale-

out access to data.

Continuous Availability

Supports thin provisioning to allow maximize capacity use. Trim

support permits capacity reclamation when possible.Optimal Storage Use

Fully remote and scriptable management through the Windows

Storage Management API, WMI, and Windows PowerShell. Storage

Spaces easily managed through the File Services role in Server

Manager.

Why Dell EMC?


Why Dell EMC over the Competition

Convenient time

savings

“…in terms of simplicity, ease

of setup, and ease of

maintenance: Almost like

night and day when

compared to HPE’s

comparable offerings.” 3

Known faster

configurations

• On vSAN: PowerEdge FC430

outperformed HPE solution by

more than 3X – with 4X better

performance per watt1

• On SAP HANA: Dell EMC

holds several world records

for performance2

Unified Sales and

Technical Support

“The [Dell EMC] products were

vastly easier to set up, Dell

EMC was far more responsive

to service requests and

questions (hours compared to

days or weeks for a response),

and generally far less red tape

with Dell EMC over HPE.” 4
