The PowerStore family eliminates traditional tradeoffs in performance, scalability, and storage efficiency, with a data-centric, intelligent, and adaptable infrastructure. PowerStore helps you transform and mobilize both traditional and modern workloads.

Store, manage, and protect unstructured data with efficiency and massive scalability. Dell PowerScale (previously Isilon) is the industry’s number one family of scale-out, network-attached storage systems, designed for the most demanding, unstructured data workloads. Choose from all-flash, hybrid, and archive platforms.

Dell PowerMax offers 15M IOPS, 350 GBps throughput, and real-time machine learning. It’s designed with resiliency for dense, mixed-workload consolidation, and as the world’s fastest storage array, it has the power to handle next-gen, low-latency applications. With massive scalability and rich data services, PowerMax is capable of powering the mission-critical applications of today and tomorrow.

With flexibility and agility at its core, the multi-dimensional Dell data protection appliance portfolio enables you to meet future demands through scale-up and scale-out architectures. Reduce your risk of data loss and leverage the value of protected data, while meeting ever more demanding SLAs and increasing ROI.

Dell Unity’s All-Flash and Hybrid Flash unified storage platforms optimize SSD performance and efficiency, with fully integrated SAN and NAS capabilities. Cloud-based storage analytics and proactive support keep you available and connected.

ObjectScale is Dell's leading object-storage platform. ObjectScale is an enterprise-ready platform that enables organizations to simplify object storage management, visualize information in new ways, and empower the business to do more with data, all at a lower total-cost-of-ownership.

Faction's Role

Faction helps you easily extend to the multi-cloud for File or Block-based workloads by replicating on-premises PowerStore arrays to Faction’s cloud-adjacent locations, attaching your data to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud platforms. You get to access multiple clouds without losing existing investments in on-premises hardware.

Faction transforms your PowerScale or Isilon investment into a multi-cloud-ready data footprint. Use PowerScale to replicate your data to Faction’s data center, where it can connect to multiple public clouds over high-speed, low-latency connections.

Faction helps you extend your PowerMax investment directly to the public cloud. Gain the ability to leverage array-based replication to move data to a PowerMax-powered Cloud Control Volume. This allows you to attach your PowerMax data to public cloud systems over high-speed, low-latency connectivity, with the added assurance of a secondary copy.

Faction offers a multi-cloud-connected PowerProtect that allows you to protect on-premises data with native PowerProtect replication to our cloud locations. You can also leverage the same solution to protect cloud resources running in clouds like AWS, Google, Azure, and Oracle with up to 50x data deduplication, and zero egress fees from Azure and Oracle Cloud.

Faction provides an easy way to extend your Unity investment to the cloud. Replicate your existing LUNs and implement both source and destination snapshot schedules for added protection.

Faction provides you with an all-in price per Terabyte (TB), with no additional data access fees. Utilize cross-region replication to replicate existing on-premises or collocated ObjectScale or ECS systems to Faction for increased redundancy without large capital outlays. Policy-based automated tiering allows you to seamlessly integrate existing Isilon deployments with Dell ObjectScale or ECS also provides additional storage efficiencies.

Dell Technologies and Faction offer a multi cloud experience that ensures you have the flexibility, ease of use and enhanced performance you need to run your business — today and in the future.
