7.5 million IOPS per rack and 187,000 IOPS per rack unit make the PowerMax 8000 the highest-density NVMe storage platform available. Ideal for data centres where floor space and power are constrained but performance requirements are extreme.
End-to-end NVMe architecture with NVMe-over-Fabrics host connectivity delivers 350 GB/s sustained bandwidth — enabling parallel I/O from hundreds of host connections simultaneously without queueing.
SRDF/Metro creates an active/active stretched cluster across two PowerMax 8000 arrays at different sites — both arrays serve live I/O simultaneously. A Witness handles automated failover with zero RPO and zero RTO.
PowerMax 8000 supports larger drive counts and higher director counts than the 2000, enabling significantly more total capacity and IOPS per system. Scales from departmental configurations to full rack deployments.
ML-driven data placement, proactive anomaly detection for ransomware, and automated tiering between eMLC and QLC NVMe media ensure consistent performance without manual optimisation.
Transparent tiering to AWS S3, Azure Blob, Dell ECS, or any S3-compatible cloud endpoint. Cold data moves automatically to lower-cost cloud storage; hot data is recalled on-demand without application changes.
The Dell PowerMax 8000 is the highest-density NVMe storage platform in Dell's portfolio and one of the most powerful storage systems commercially available. With 7.5 million IOPS per rack and 187,000 IOPS per rack unit at sub-100μs latency, it is targeted at the world's largest financial institutions, telecoms carriers, and government agencies that require storage performance at an unprecedented scale.
The Dynamic Virtual Matrix architecture that underpins the PowerMax 8000 operates on a fundamentally different principle from conventional active/active storage: every director in the fabric can access every drive. There is no concept of a "preferred" path or controller — the matrix routes I/O optimally at all times, and hardware failures are completely transparent to hosts. This is the basis of the 99.9999% six-nines availability guarantee.
SRDF/Metro extends this architecture across two sites — creating a single logical storage system across geographically separated data centres. Hosts at both sites read from and write to their local array; the arrays synchronise writes before acknowledging to the host. A Witness server at a third site ensures automated failover without split-brain risk.
