As a result of the explosion in both the amount and the distribution of data, the importance of data storage has been thrust to the forefront. No longer confined to a centralized location, today’s applications are powered by data that is now captured and stored everywhere. With the mounting increase in both the number and the sophistication of cyberattacks, this has put additional pressure on customers to be more resilient and secure than ever before.
 
The great news is that you’re likely already familiar with the perfect solution to help customers protect their data: Dell Technologies PowerStore. Its software-driven architecture not only gives your customers a permanent agility advantage while eliminating management complexity, it also provides robust resiliency features that help your customers defend against threats.
 
Dell Technologies recently announced PowerStore Prime, offering customers cutting-edge all-flash storage innovations to protect their critical data paired with strategic business advantages to maximize their investment. For partners, PowerStore Prime introduces new programs and incentives designed to help you close more deals and boost profitability, all while providing customers with a strong foundation for safeguarding their most valuable asset—their data.
 
PowerStore Prime Delivers Multiple Enhancements to the Platform’s Resiliency Capabilities
 
PowerStore Prime now features:
 
• Broader OS support for the popular Metro Volume feature that now supports Windows and Linux environments in addition to VMware. Metro Volume delivers active/active availability with zero downtime and automated failover via intelligent third-site witness.
• New synchronous replication for file and block that ensures zero data loss  and the ability to protect volumes, volume groups, and network-attached storage servers across multiple clusters
• Support for up to 3x more snapshots and 8x more replication volumes to protect more workloads locally or across sites
 
These enhancements augment PowerStore’s existing resiliency feature set, which enables customers to customize protection policies with any combination of local, remote, and cloud protection methods in one easy workflow.
