Dell PowerStore Data Efficiency

Data volumes are doubling every two years. Learn how to reclaim your storage capacity and lower TCO with a 4:1 data reduction guarantee.

As data growth accelerates at an average rate of 40% annually, IT leaders face a constant struggle to balance capacity needs with budget constraints. Simply adding more hardware is no longer a sustainable strategy. Success in the modern data center requires a more intelligent approach to storage efficiency.

In this Technical Review, "Dell PowerStore Data Efficiency," Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) validates how Dell’s architectural innovations enable always-on data reduction. Discover how to transform your storage economics through a combination of global deduplication and high-performance compression.

Key Highlights:

Exponential Data Growth: Addressing the challenge of organizations whose data volumes double approximately every two years.

4:1 Data Reduction Guarantee: Validation of Dell’s commitment to providing a 4:1 reduction ratio across varied workloads.

Always-On Efficiency: How inline compression and global deduplication operate without manual intervention or performance degradation.

Effective Capacity Gains: Strategies for fitting more data into a smaller physical footprint to delay expensive hardware purchases.

Sustainability Impact: Reducing physical storage requirements leads to lower power consumption and a smaller environmental footprint.

Performance Predictability: Ensuring data reduction processes don't bottleneck high-performance application requirements.

Global Deduplication: The benefits of identifying and eliminating redundant data across the entire storage pool, rather than just in silos.

Technical Validation: Independent testing by ESG confirming that PowerStore meets or exceeds industry standards for storage efficiency.

Storage Economics: Improving the total cost of ownership (TCO) by maximizing the utility of every terabyte of physical flash storage.
