Breakthrough performance and efficiency for AI workloads
Enhanced Data Management: How organizations manage, secure and scale that data will separate the winners from the laggards. Updates to Dell PowerScale and Dell ObjectScale, the Dell AI Data Platform’s storage engines boost performance, scalability and data discovery capabilities.
- Dell PowerScale will soon be available as an independent software license on qualified Dell PowerEdge servers like the Dell PowerEdge R7725xd. This news is the latest in Dell software-driven storage innovation following the announcement of a new software-defined Dell ObjectScale. These new Dell PowerScale and Dell ObjectScale configurations will help organizations like cloud service providers realize even greater AI performance while having the flexibility to adopt the latest server and networking technologies to meet infrastructure needs.
- Dell PowerScale parallel NFS (pNFS) support with Flexible File Layout will enable two-way communication between metadata server and client, allowing for better parallel distribution of data across multiple nodes in a PowerScale cluster. This innovation will deliver significant throughput, performance gains and linear scalability with parallel I/O across multiple pathways. This update is designed to provide increased parallelism, delivering massive scalability and throughput tailored for demanding AI workflows.
- Dell ObjectScale AI-Optimized Search offers two complementary AI-optimized search capabilities for Dell ObjectScale storage-S3 Tables and S3 Vector. These two specialized APIs provide high-speed access to complex data stored directly on ObjectScale to support analytics and key AI workloads like inferencing and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), empowering faster decision-making and easier storage, retrieval and search of expanding datasets.
