Linear Scale-Out Architecture
PowerScale's shared-nothing architecture adds capacity and performance linearly. Each F710 node added to a cluster contributes proportional IOPS, bandwidth, and metadata throughput — no performance hot-spots.
All-Flash Scale-Out NAS — 1.2 PB/Node, 307 PB Cluster, OneFS 9.7
The Dell PowerScale F710 is an all-flash NAS node powered by NVMe SSDs and Dell's OneFS operating system. Scaling from 3 nodes (115 TB) to 252 nodes (307 PB) in a single global namespace, it delivers high-performance unstructured data storage for media & entertainment, genomics, AI/ML training datasets, and enterprise file services.

PowerScale's shared-nothing architecture adds capacity and performance linearly. Each F710 node added to a cluster contributes proportional IOPS, bandwidth, and metadata throughput — no performance hot-spots.
All nodes in a cluster present a single namespace — no LUN carving, no volume management. OneFS distributes data across all nodes with an N+2 to N+4 fault tolerance scheme protecting against simultaneous multiple node failures.
F710 nodes use NVMe TLC and QLC SSDs throughout (10 SSDs per node, 3.2–122 TB per drive). The all-flash design delivers the high throughput required for AI/ML training data loading and media rendering pipelines.
Simultaneous NFS v3/4/4.1, SMB 2/3, HDFS 1.x/2.x, HTTP/S, and native S3 (via ECS co-deployment) — serving Linux, Windows, Hadoop, and cloud-native applications from a single namespace.
SmartDedupe and SmartCompression provide inline capacity reduction. SmartTiering transparently migrates cold files from F710 nodes to lower-cost H-series hybrid nodes or cloud within the same cluster.
SyncIQ provides policy-based synchronous and asynchronous replication between PowerScale clusters for DR. SnapshotIQ delivers efficient local snapshots with recovery time objectives measured in seconds.
The Dell PowerScale F710 (formerly Dell EMC Isilon F810 generation) is the all-flash member of the PowerScale portfolio, targeting workloads that need both scale-out NAS capacity and flash performance — primarily AI/ML training datasets, media & entertainment production, genomics, EDA (electronic design automation), and high-performance file services.
The fundamental advantage of PowerScale over traditional NAS is architectural: OneFS's single global namespace eliminates the management complexity of managing hundreds of individual volumes or file systems. The entire cluster appears as a single directory tree; administrators set policies on directories rather than allocating space per volume. This makes PowerScale dramatically simpler to manage at petabyte scale.
The F710 runs OneFS 9.7, which introduced improved S3 API support (enabling use as an on-premises S3 endpoint for cloud-native applications), enhanced SmartDedupe efficiency, and security improvements including FIPS 140-2 compliance for data-at-rest encryption. OneFS includes a built-in firewall, audit logging, and integration with Active Directory and LDAP.
High-throughput sequential reads for GPU training clusters — PowerScale F710 is designed to saturate GPU interconnects during model training and inference.
Shared production storage for video editing, VFX, and render farms — multiple artists reading and writing simultaneously from a common namespace at high bandwidth.
Petabyte-scale genomic datasets requiring high metadata performance for small-file intensive sequencing pipelines alongside large BAM/VCF file access.
