INTELLIGENT GREEN TECHNOLOGY

This makes it easier than ever for organisations to improve storage efficiency and strengthen cybersecurity , while providing the flexibility to seamlessly scale capacity and performance to keep pace with new business demands .

Technology continues to evolve rapidly , and to keep pace , IT administrators must automate provisioning and administrative tasks . That ’ s why PowerMax systems are designed with intelligent automation , advanced AIOps , DevOps and containers to streamline operations and eliminate redundancy .

New AI-driven autonomous health checks in PowerMax harness the power of predictive analytics to proactively pinpoint potential optimisation . By scrutinising intricate data patterns with an integrated machine-learning engine , the tool identifies opportunities to enhance efficiency and suggests actions to elevate performance while eliminating cumbersome management intervention . AI-driven autonomous health checks harness the power of predictive analytics to proactively pinpoint potential storage optimisation .

Dell ’ s CloudIQ AIOps leverages these new operational , energy and security enhancements to provide forecasting , notification , recommendations and corrective actions to PowerMax users regarding predictive capacity , performance , configuration and security . Together , PowerMaxOS 10.1 plus CloudIQ improve productivity and storage efficiency while reducing risk .

Additionally , automated storage provisioning is accomplished with REST APIs , saving considerable time and effort . A software-defined NVMe , TCP utility for storage resource automation can reduce the time to set up NVMe , TCP resources by up to 44 %. Organisations continue to focus on reducing their carbon footprint , improving energy efficiency to cut operating costs and lowering the overall environmental impact of their storage infrastructure . This release helps customers build a more energyefficient , sustainable datacentre by :

• Delivering real-time power , environmental monitoring and alerting based on usage . Power for all components in a rack is monitored for voltage , current and frequency as is temperature and humidity of the rack , enabling organisations to make highly informed decisions to optimise energy usage .

• Introducing dynamic data mobility , enabling relocation of workloads to different arrays , maximising resources .

• Improving data deduplication and compression technology with a new 5:1 data reduction guarantee for open systems .

• Delivering up to 2.8 times more performance per watt , which can provide up to $ 207K in electricity cost savings3 , and up to an 82 % reduction in greenhouse gases .

The latest version of PowerMax takes cyber resiliency to the next level , reducing organisations ’ attack surfaces , detecting potential intrusions and expediting the ability to recover from an attack . This release adds :

• Federal Approved Products List certified , STIG-hardening that meets stringent U . S . Department of Defence guidelines to reducing the attack surface .

• Transport Layer Security , TLS version 1.3 , the latest and most secure version offering stronger encryption algorithms to reduce the risk of eavesdropping and data breaches .

• Advanced anomaly detection of I , O patterns for improved ransomware and malware monitoring , detection and alerting to identify possible cyberattacks .

• Ignition Key Support , a new data-atrest capability leveraging external key managers to protect against physical theft of the array . •
