“Most companies spend

70% or more of their

time, money and

mindshare keeping

things going.”

Tina Nunno, VP Gartner

Volume, velocity and value of data is accelerating at a challenging pace

More risk More complexity

More cost

Dell point of view: Shake up the storage status quo

Store more data on less hardware Innovative compression, deduplication, true thin provisioning, and automated tiering

Grow performance and capacity as needed—not before

Modular, scalable design, advanced reporting, and accurate usage data

Escape legacy hardware refresh cycles

Mix and match hardware, non-disruptive upgrades, and innovative licensing

Streamline IT personnel productivity Intelligent automation, policy-based management, and point-and-click interface

Protect data from downtime and disaster

Redundant hardware, lightweight snapshots, replication, and more

Integrate storage across the data center

Integration with OS/applications, virtualized design, and load balancing

@Dell_Storage 23

Fluid File System: Architecture • It removes the scalability limitations associated with

traditional file systems, supports both scale-out

performance and scale-up capacity expansion, and

• Single global namespace for easy administration. Manage

the namespace through a virtual IP address, regardless of

cluster size.

• Active-Active controllers (filers) can be deployed in

multiple pairs to scale performance

• Block level storage array can scale separate from the file

system

• The file system can be bypassed for high performance

Native block connectivity. No block emulation is

required.
