iTWire Wednesday, 21 April 2021 12:16 Dell upgrades EMC PowerStore software, adds new model Shares New software for Dell EMC PowerStore enterprise storage systems provides improved performance plus automation capabilities. The company has also introduced a new model in the PowerStore family – the PowerStore 500. The performance improvements in PowerStoreOS 2.0 are said to deliver up to 25% more IOPS in Dell's internal testing. Some of that improvement comes from the option of using storage class memory (SCM) as persistent storage to speed metadata access for up to 15% lower workload latency with just one Intel Optane D4800X drive. The new software also provides support for NVMe over Fibre Channel (NVMe-FC) with no additional hardware.
