For today’s always-on businesses, data resiliency is a necessity, not just a feature. Maintaining continuous access to data is crucial, as it can mean the difference between smooth operations and catastrophic downtime. Data loss can paralyze productivity and damage reputations, raising a pressing question: do you have the right foundation to safeguard your business and ensure your data remains accessible when you need it most?
In a world where compromise isn’t an option, PowerStore emerges as the ultimate solution for data resiliency, ensuring your data stays secure and your business stays operational.
Breakthrough Resiliency Powered by Innovation
PowerStore’s enterprise resiliency begins with redundant hardware engineered for 99.9999% uptime and to ensure durability against unexpected hardware failures. But it’s PowerStore’s innovative software that sets it apart. Its patented Dynamic Resiliency Engine maximizes the valuable performance of your NVMe drives while protecting against multi-drive failures without the headache of managing traditional RAID schemas. By using software to manage protection, it can quickly rebuild protection if a failure occurs and make capacity expansion more efficient with granular, single-drive expansion.
But increasingly complex data management challenges require advanced software solutions for protecting and recovering data, and this is where PowerStore shines. Its software-driven architecture isn’t just resilient; it’s also user-friendly and adaptable, making enterprise resiliency easy to achieve.
Defend your Data with Easy-to-Use Protection Policies
PowerStore integrates five types of data protection into one streamlined workflow, freeing up time for IT staff to focus on more important tasks. Easily customize protection policies with any combination of five local, remote and cloud-based options in a single workflow to protect data based on application criticality.
Secure and Immutable Snapshots
For quick local recovery, snapshots are the answer. Once created, they can’t be altered or deleted until a predetermined date, making them a reliable option to recover data in a snap.
Remote Replication
To protect against site failures, PowerStore supports both synchronous and asynchronous replication for block and file data, protecting any workload to add even more resiliency to any protection policy.
Storage Direct Protection
PowerStore’s unique integration with Dell’s data protection portfolio efficiently protects for the long-term too, essential for meeting regulatory and other retention requirements. Storage Direct enables native backup to any physical, software-defined or public cloud via PowerProtect Data Domain or APEX Protection Storage, while Instant Access enables you to quickly and easily recover data within PowerStore Manager.
Zero Data Loss, Zero Downtime: Metro Volume for Continuous Availability
The most critical applications demand 100% uptime, which requires a more advanced solution. This is where PowerStore’s Metro Volume comes in.
Metro replication ensures non-disruptive application availability and business continuity across geographically separated sites. PowerStore’s Metro Volume can be set up in as few as six clicks, establishing zero disruption protection for mission-critical applications for Windows, Linux and VMware workloads. Deploying its no-cost third-site witness adds even more assurance, preventing “split brain” scenarios and ensuring data consistency with automated failover in the event of an unexpected outage.
Fortify Your Data with Zero-Trust Cybersecurity
Data protection measures are essential for maintaining data availability and business continuity, but top-notch security ensures complete safety. PowerStore’s cybersecurity capabilities deliver crucial protection against evolving threats and potential breaches.
As cyber threats evolve, a Zero Trust cybersecurity framework delivers outstanding protection for businesses of any size. PowerStore’s hardware includes native data-at-rest encryption at the drive level, reinforced by hardware root of trust and secure boot chain of trust.
PowerStore’s intelligent software goes a step further, with threat detection capabilities that bolster your cybersecurity posture by and integrating with CEPA antivirus software. Employing a Zero Trust framework with admin access control like multifactor authentication (MFA), role-based access control (RBAC) and support for lightweight directory access protocol (LDAPS) ensures that only authorized personnel can modify or access critical data.
This framework allows PowerStore to meet stringent requirements, including the U.S. Department of Defense Approved Product List. While your business may not need the same level of security, PowerStore equips you with the tools to ensure integrity, confidentiality and robust defenses against cyber-attacks, regardless of your organization’s size.
