Key Features
Everything you need in one device
🤖
Machine Learning Optimisation
Embedded ML continuously monitors and re-balances workloads across controllers and media. AppsON lets you run VMware virtual machines directly on the array, eliminating separate application servers for management workloads.
🛡️
Zero Trust Cybersecurity
Native ransomware protection with immutable snapshots (SafeMode), logical air-gapping, and anomaly detection built into the PowerStore OS. No additional software licences required for core data protection features.
☁️
Active/Active Autonomous Control
Both controllers are fully active simultaneously — no head-node failover penalty. PowerStore OS autonomously rebalances I/O between controllers based on real-time demand.
💾
Unified Block & File
Native block (iSCSI, FC, NVMe-oF) and file (NFS, SMB/CIFS) workloads on a single appliance — no separate NAS gateway required. Thin provisioning, snapshots, and replication included.
🔄
Non-Disruptive Upgrades
Scale-out by adding appliances to a cluster non-disruptively. Controller-level upgrades and software updates complete without downtime, protecting the investment over a typical 5–7-year lifecycle.
About the Dell PowerStore 500T
The Dell PowerStore 500T Gen2 is the entry-level model in Dell's award-winning PowerStore family — ranked #1 in ease of use by Bain & Company's certified MyCX methodology. It targets SMB and departmental workloads requiring enterprise-class resilience without enterprise-class complexity.
Gen2 introduces a higher-density NVMe SSD design (up to 97 drives per 2U appliance), improved processor configurations (Intel Xeon, 24 cores at 2.2 GHz), and enhanced ML algorithms. The result is up to 23% better performance-per-watt versus Gen1.
The PowerStore OS is software-defined at its core — capabilities like deduplication, compression, synchronous replication (Metro volume), and asynchronous replication are all included. There is no separate licence for ransomware protection or snapshot-based recovery, which significantly reduces total cost of ownership versus competitive platforms.

Ideal for a wide range of deployments
🏢
SMB & Departmental
Consolidate multiple legacy arrays onto a single PowerStore 500T — reducing power, cooling, and management overhead while gaining enterprise data services.
🖥️
VDI & Virtual Servers
Sub-millisecond latency and all-NVMe throughput make the 500T ideal for VMware or Hyper-V environments running mixed OLTP, ERP, and collaboration workloads.
🔒
Ransomware Recovery
SafeMode immutable snapshots and anomaly detection provide an on-array recovery point that cannot be deleted by compromised credentials or ransomware encryption.
