Features
Intuitive management at your fingertips
SC Series management helps you reduce operating costs with advanced and automated features, including easy data replication between SC and PS Series arrays, which gives PS customers flexibility to add SC arrays to their environment when they choose.
A new level of Storage Center OS efficiency
- Over 10:1 capacity savings with intelligent deduplication and compression*
- Federated data control with Live Migrate
- Seamless business continuity with Live Volume auto-failover between arrays
- Federated management and cross-platform replication between SC and PS Series arrays
- Quality-of-Service (QoS), VMware Virtual Volumes (VVols) support,iSCSI Datacenter Bridging (DCB)
See individual spec sheets and product documentation for additional features and specific platform support.
Self-optimizing, automated storage
As data ages, it’s moved to less expensive storage until it becomes active again. All-flash and hybrid arrays can leverage the unique attributes of write- and read-intensive SSDs in combination. Data is precisely where it’s needed, when it’s needed – the perfect combination of high IOPS and cost savings.
Space savings in the data center
- Conservation of rack space for future growth
- Smaller footprint, which benefits power and cooling expenses
- Intelligent deduplication and compression for all storage tiers and drive types
Operating costs are reduced with advanced features like volume-level QoS, VVols support and departmental “charge-back” reporting, allowing instant visibility and control of a multi-terabyte, multi-location environment.
Data center automation with leading technology partner integrations
With the introduction of Application Protection Manager for Oracle and now enhanced for the Linux® environment, you can create application-consistent Replays for Oracle® databases. Combined with Storage Center Data Instant Replay (DIR), it will ensure reliable application, consistent backup and recovery of Oracle and Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) enabled applications (Exchange, SQL and Hyper-V) and VMware virtual machines (VMs).
Conquer storage challenges now and in the future with the SC7020
- Scalable IOPs with block data
- Over 10:1 capacity savings with intelligent deduplication and compression*
- Over 60 percent reduction in rack space required*
- Optimized performance at an affordable price
SC7020 supports multiple protocols — Fibre Channel and iSCSI – and is easily managed with Dell EMC Storage Manager (DSM).
Robust SAN with feature-rich software
- Federated data control with Live Migrate
- Guaranteed performance with QoS, application by application
- Data protection with Data Instant Replay and Remote Instant Replay
- Dynamic Capacity, which separates storage allocation from utilization, optimizing capacity
- Unified management of block and file storage and cross-platform replication between SC and PS Series*
- VMware Virtual Volumes (VVols) support, iSCSI Datacenter Bridging (DCB)
