When it comes to building a private cloud, solid infrastructure is a must-have. But these days, it’s not just about faster and cheaper. Your customers also need a smarter, more resilient, and more adaptable solution.
The new PowerStore 4.2 release meets those needs—today and in the future. Deploying the PowerStore platform also guides your customers toward higher-performance, higher-margin models, which helps you grow your own business, too.
What’s new in PowerStore 4.2
The latest PowerStore release includes a brand-new QLC-based hardware platform and a non-disruptive software upgrade that empowers your customers to innovate and thrive.
PowerStore 4.2 is designed to streamline your customers’ workflows. That includes newly enhanced features like PowerStore Manager, Auto-Repair, REST API support for cluster shutdowns, and customizable network validation alerts for greater flexibility and control when servicing a PowerStore system.
Dell has also improved PowerStore’s AI-powered self-healing capabilities. By leveraging real-time telemetry from a vast install base, AI analyzes and uncovers emerging issues before they can cause disruptions. That cuts resolution time by up to 90% through autonomous corrective action.[1]
Introducing the new PowerStore 5200Q
With PowerStore 4.2, Dell has introduced its newest QLC-based model, engineered for premium performance with maximum headroom. The 5200Q is cost-optimized for high-capacity solutions and flexible enough to fit with any environment.
New DoD-approved security/resiliency features help protect your customers’ investment. That includes single-sign-on with biometrics support, anomaly detection, and replication over Fibre Channel. IT managers can also deploy TLS 1.3 encryption, HashiCorp key management, and SMTP-authenticated alerting—an expanded toolkit for Zero Trust environments.
Deploying PowerStore 4.2 and the new 5200Q model is a win-win for you and your customers.
